Rainwat
A Foreword of the Management team of the new "Regional Arrangement on the Radiocommunication Service for Inland Waterways"
Dear stakeholder,
Since 18 April 2012 a revised version of the Regional Arrangement came into force which rules the harmonized use of frequencies, technical elements and operational procedures for shipping throughout Europe, from the North Sea to the Black Sea.
Aim is to create an open gateway for all the users of our Inland Waterways by offering regulations of which we expect that they will contribute to a more efficient, economical and smooth execution of ship management. Furthermore our goal is to offer more flexibility to Administrations to administer, harmonize and optimize the Regional Arrangement.
It is worth mentioning at this place that the new Committee RAINWAT will have more possibilities than in the past to respond appropriately to expressed needs and requirements of the maritime community.
We have great expectation that this "Regional Arrangement on the Radiocommunication Service for Inland Waterways" will safeguard the availability of modern and trustworthy radiocommunications on European Inland Waterways.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Aurelian-Sorinel Calinciuc
National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications of Romania (ANCOM) - Chairman of the Committee Rainwat
Mr. Pavel Ellinger
Czech Telecommunication Office - Vice-Chairman of the Committee RAINWAT
