GOODS NOMENCLATURE

The type of goods shall be reported according to the classification NST-2000 (1) as shown in Table F.1. The two-digit
code of the column “NST-2000 groups” shall be used.

However, in 2007 only, Member States shall be allowed to use the classification NST/R (2) as shown in Table F.2 for
reporting the type of goods. The two-digit code of the column “Groups of goods” shall be used.

Member States can also decide to report data using both classifications in 2007. From 2008 onwards, only classification
NST-2000 shall be valid.

ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS, EXPLANATIONS AND DATA REPORTING GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTING
REGULATION (EC) No 1365/2006

SECTION I. INLAND WATERWAYS TRANSPORT

1. Navigable inland waterways

This term covers navigable rivers, lakes, canals and estuaries. An inland waterway forming a common border between
two countries has to be reported by both.

2. Inland waterways transport

For the purpose of this Regulation the movements of goods and/or passengers using seagoing vessels undertaken
wholly in navigable inland waterways will be considered as inland waterways transport and will be subject to the same
data provision obligations no matter if seagoing vessels are not specifically mentioned in other definitions.

Movements of goods shipped to offshore installations are excluded. Bunkers and stores supplied to vessels in port are
excluded, but bunker oil shipped to vessels offshore is included.

3. National inland waterways transport

National inland waterways transport may involve transit through a second country, although for this country this
transport has to be reported as transit. Cabotage transport defined as national inland waterways transport performed
by a vessel registered in another country is included.

4. International inland waterways transport

International
countries this transport has to be reported as transit.

inland waterways transport may involve transit through one or more third countries. For the latter

5. Transit inland waterways transport

Transit inland waterways transport shall be considered as such only provided that in the total journey within the
national territory there is no transshipment.

6. Country/region of loading

This is the country or region of the port (NUTS2 level (1)) where the transported goods are loaded on a vessel.

7. Country/region of unloading

This is the country or region of the port (NUTS2 level) where the transported goods are unloaded from a vessel.

8. Type of packaging of goods

Goods on a vessel can be transported using two types of packaging:

— inside containers as defined in section III.1,

— not in containers.

(1) Nomenclature of territorial units as per Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May
2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) (OJ L 154, 21.6.2003, p. 1). Any future
update of this classification adopted by implementing Commission regulations will be applicable for the purpose of this Regulation.

L 103/36

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

20.4.2007

SECTION II. TYPES OF VESSELS

1. Self-propelled barge

Any powered inland waterways freight vessel, other than self-propelled tanker barges.

2. Barge not self-propelled

Any unpowered inland waterways freight vessel, other than not self-propelled tanker barges. This category includes
towed, pushed and pushed-towed barges.

3. Self-propelled tanker barge

A self-propelled barge intended for the transport of liquids or gases in fixed tanks.

4. Tanker barge not self-propelled

A barge not self-propelled intended for the transport of liquids or gases in fixed tanks.

5. Other goods carrying vessel

Any other known or unknown kind of inland waterways freight vessel intended for carrying goods not defined in the
previous categories.

6. Seagoing vessel

A vessel other than those which navigate predominantly in navigable inland waterways or in waters within, or closely
adjacent to, sheltered waters or areas where port regulations apply.

SECTION III. CONTAINERS

1. Container

A freight container means an article of transport equipment:

1. of a permanent nature and accordingly strong enough to be suitable for repeated use;

2. specially designed to facilitate the carriage of goods by one or more modes of transport, without intermediate

reloading;

3. fitted with devices permitting its ready handling, particularly its transfer from one mode of transport to another;

4. so designed as to be easy to fill and empty;

5. having a length of 20 feet or more.

2. Size of containers

For the purpose of this Regulation the size of containers will be reported according to four categories:

1. 20 Foot ISO containers (length of 20 feet and width of 8 feet);

2. 40 Foot ISO containers (length of 40 feet and width of 8 feet);

3. ISO containers over 20 feet and under 40 feet in length;

4. ISO containers over 40 feet long.

(Containers smaller than 20 feet or of unknown size must be reported under Category 1).

20.4.2007

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 103/37

3. Loading status of containers

Containers may have two loading status regardless of their size:

— loaded, when any kind of good is transported inside the container,

— empty, when the container does not have any good inside.

SECTION IV. INLAND WATERWAYS TRAFFIC

1. Number of movements of loaded vessels

One movement of a loaded vessel is counted as the movement of a vessel from the port of loading of any kind of
goods to the following port of loading or unloading.

2. Number of movements of empty vessels

One movement of an empty vessel is counted as the movement of a vessel from one port to another for which the
gross-gross weight of goods is nil. The movement of a vessel carrying empty containers is not considered as an empty
vessel.

SECTION V. UNITS

1. Tonne

Unit for measuring the weight of goods transport equivalent to 1 000 kilograms.

The weight to be taken into consideration is the gross-gross weight of goods. The weight taken into consideration is
equivalent to the total weight of the goods and packaging and the tare weight of equipment such as containers, swap
bodies and pallets. When this tare-weight is excluded, the weight is gross weight.

2. Tonne-km

Unit for measuring the goods transport equivalent to one tonne of goods transported over a distance of one kilometre.

For the purpose of reporting the tonne-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has
to be taken into account.

3. TEU

Unit for measuring the container size equivalent to twenty feet unit. For the purpose of this Regulation the following
equivalences apply:

1. 20 Foot ISO containers (length of 20 feet and width of 8 feet) = 1 TEU;

2. 40 Foot ISO container (length of 40 feet and width of 8 feet)

= 2 TEU;

3. ISO containers over 20 feet and under 40 feet in length

= 1,5 TEU;

4. ISO containers over 40 feet long

= 2,25 TEU.

4. TEU-km

Unit for measuring the goods transport by containers equivalent to one TEU transported over a distance of one
kilometre.

For the purpose of reporting the TEU-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has
to be taken into account.

5. Vessel-km

Unit for measuring the vessel traffic equivalent to the movement of a vessel over a distance of one kilometre. For the
purpose of reporting the vessel-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be
taken into account.

Description of transmission medium

The transmission format to be used has to be compatible with an automatic transmission of data (EDI approach).

The ‘CSV’ (comma separated values) format with semicolon (;) as field separator is acceptable. Another more advanced
