On December 8-10, 2025, in Strasbourg (France), the Permanent Working Group on Information Technology of the European Committee for Drawing up Standards in the field of Inland Navigation (CESNI/TI) held the CESNI-RIS Week. The events were held sequentially in sections to discuss the four key RIS technologies that are being implemented and developed in European national RIS systems on inland waterways: CESNI/TI/iECDIS Meeting (Electronic Chart Display and Information System in inland navigation), CESNI/TI/VTT Meeting (Vessel Tracking and Tracing), CESNI/TI/NtS Meeting (Notices to Skippers), CESNI/TI/ERI Meeting (Electronic Ship Reporting). The meeting was attended by representatives of the European Commission (ЕС), the Danube Commission (DC), the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine (CCNR), the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), representatives of VIADONAU, COMEX2, CESNI/TI, and Danube countries. Representatives of the State Enterprise "UKRVODSHLIAH", which directly implements the "UkrRIS-Danube" project, participated in the events on-line. In presentations and reports, the participants of the events analyzed in detail the results of the events held by European countries and organizations involved in the RIS development in 2025. A wide range of issues related to the further development of inner waterway shipping in modern conditions were discussed: automation of shipping, the use of future autonomous vessels, the development of AIS shore stations and the combination of AIS with radar, etc. Special attention was paid to the issues of the emergence of modern risks were considered, in particular, spoofing and jamming during the use of radio navigation systems. The events discussed in detail proposals for the further development of EU guidance documents, amendments to them, in particular – to the European standard ES-RIS/2025, which combines all implementing regulations for all key RIS technologies. This standard is revised every 2 years. The next version of ES-RIS/2027 will be published in 2026 and will enter into force at the beginning of 2027. A decision was also approved to include in this version, in the appendix, 32 tables of Notices to Skippers Reference Tables, working terms also in Ukrainian language. The decision on these events will be taken into account during the implementation of the “UkrRIS-Danube” Project.
