TRANSPORT BY INLAND WATERWAYS: STRATEGIC REPOSITIONING OF THE BELGIAN SEA-CANAL CORPORATION

In the past decades the importance of the canal Brussels-Scheldt decreased. To break with the negative trend, a strategic repositioning process for the Sea-Canal Corporation has been developed. In this paper the theoretical framework and the key elements of this strategic plan are described. From an economic point of view the required future development of the canal region was stipulated. Furthermore a coherent development plan for the canal region was worked out. The new strategy is a first but important step towards an increased use of environmentally friendly transport alternatives like shortsea and inland shipping. For these reasons, this pilot project deserves utmost attention from all parties concerned.
