FAST Danube 2 is a cross-border project involving Romania and Bulgaria. The FAST DANUBE Project aims the improvement of the navigation conditions on the Romanian – Bulgarian common sector of the Danube, from km 845 to km 375, by ensuring the fairway parameters over a minimum period of 340 days/year. The Project is fully compliant with the Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 (TEN-T Regulation). Regulation and with the Call Document, contributing to the assurance of reliable and safe conditions on a critical sector of the Corridor. 

This project specifically targets the common RO-BG sector of the Danube, a critical stretch of the Rhine-Danube Corridor. 

The goal is to address navigational challenges and bottlenecks. These issues have led to disruptions in navigation and financial losses for the transport sector due to inadequate navigation conditions, especially during low water level periods. Therefore, the core objectives of the project include enhancing navigation conditions, eliminating navigational blockages, ensuring year-round navigability, and boosting connectivity between TEN-T network points. 

The project aligns with the EU's strategies for achieving zero-emission, mobility and increasing the use of sustainable transport modes on the Rhine-Danube Core Corridor. 

The project is implemented through the following WPs. 

• WP1: Project Management, Communication and Dissemination;

• WP2 - Design of Works;

• WP3 - Execution of Works;

• WP4 - Supervision and management of works;

• WP5 - Environmental monitoring

The Danube sector envisage by the Project is part of the Rhine – Danube Corridor.
