As Europe accelerates its transition toward cleaner transport, inland waterways are expected to play an essential role. One promising solution is methanol, a fuel that can be produced from renewable sources and that burns more cleanly than traditional fuels. To support its safe uptake, CEN/TC 15 ‘Inland Navigation Vessels’ has developed EN 18071:2025 ‘Inland navigation vessels – Methanol bunkering’, a new European Standard that sets out clear technical and operational requirements for refuelling vessels with methanol.

Last month, a critical update in the world of small craft safety was introduced with the release of EN ISO 15085:2024, focusing on preventing man-overboard accidents and providing solutions for reboarding. Developed by ISO/TC 188 ‘Small Craft’ mirrored at the European level by CEN/TC 464, this standard sets out detailed requirements to enhance the safety of small craft, providing a safer environment for users and reducing risks of falling in the water.

The CEN and CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 14 ‘Energy management and energy efficiency in the framework of energy transition’ announces the publication of the new standard EN 17669:2022 ‘Energy Performance Contracts-Minimum requirements’ developed by their Working Group 4 ‘Energy financial aspects’.

The European Commission, through the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), is funding experts to participate in the EUDIT project, a new initiative to develop a European Standard (EN) for digital interfaces (APIs) that will transform how transport tickets are distributed across Europe.
