Vlaanderen - Waterwegen en Zeekanaal
Vlaanderen is water VISUELE IDENTITEIT & STIJLGIDS NEDERLANDSTALIGE VERSIE V1 \ FEBRUARI 2014 Inland navigation: a source of pro Flanders has one of the densest and most coherent waterway networks in Europe. Waterwegen en Zeekanaal NV (W&Z) wishes to capitalise on this important asset in the best possible way. Our vision is clear: to achieve dynamic management of our waterways and the land that borders them. W&Z promotes the use of these waterways and land in line with the interests of all stakeholders and with an emphasis on sustainable growth, flood protection and integrated water management. W&Z fulfils this vision with a range of activities. W&Z considers its mission to be an important social project and pursues a modern, innovative and future-oriented policy aimed at a Flanders that is prosperous, mobile, safe and green. W&Z translates its mission into three key interrelated tasks: 1.Promotion of water transport Inland navigation and short sea ship ping are firstly sources of prosperity. They also offer a remedy for the adverse effects of the constantly increasing transport traffic on our roads. For these reasons, W&Z is making every possible effort to encourage transport by water. It is 2 osperity relatively cheap, energy-efficient, 2. Water management punctual, safe and environmentally W&Z strives to limit damage as a re- 3.Life on and beside a waterway friendly.

To achieve these goals, of several other prosperous regions The Flemish waterway operators – W&Z and nv De Scheepvaart – have across the European continent.
