Book excerpt: "One of the motives for setting up [this report] was the lack of internationally accepted guidelines for inland waterway dimensions, in contrast to regulations for seagoing ships. Therefore, there is a need for adequate new guidelines, especially on minimum horizontal dimensions of fairways, lock approaches or bridge openings, to support several new waterway improvement projects. Another reason to update existing knowledge of waterway design arises from changes in the vessel fleet, especially with a growing number of longer, wider, deeper draughted and stronger powered vessels and the consequent affects on the dimensions of the design vessels."--Introduction.
