ADNR

ADNR, the abbreviation for “Accord Européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par voie de navigation du Rhin”, refers to the dangerous goods transport regulations for inland navigation on the Rhine. This European agreement defines the standards and regulations for the safe transportation of dangerous goods on the Rhine and plays a decisive role in cross-border inland waterway transport.

The ADNR standards have been developed to ensure the safety of persons, property and the environment during the transportation of dangerous goods. This includes the labeling, packaging and carriage of such goods on inland waterway vessels, although the specific requirements may vary depending on the type of dangerous goods.

Compliance with the ADNR regulations is mandatory for all parties involved in inland navigation on the Rhine. This includes shipping companies, logistics service providers and authorities. The regulations are designed to prevent accidents and to be able to react appropriately in the event of an incident.
