was as in the summer of 2007 blocked the Landwehr canal for passenger vessels temporarily, and the conflict escalated to the precipitation of the trees on the Landwehr canal was drawn by the part of big Berliner shipping a dramatic scenario, with sales declines and job losses. With the same argument is still the early restoration of the two-direction traffic is required for passenger ships. The current traffic statistics of the water and shipping office in Berlin and the water and Shipping Directorate East for the years 2007 and 2008 have indicated that may be of significant impact on the Berlin Fahrgastschifffahrt no question. 
So it was indeed in the Landwehr Canal in 2007 (-1057 from the upper lock) to a significant decrease in trafficking. The total traffic in the Berlin passenger shipping was in the same period, however, by about 9%. In terms of vessels passed the decrease was offset about three times (+3098). Despite the traffic the number of smuggled passenger ships on the Landwehr Canal in 2008, again nearly reached the peak of 2006 and is twice as high as the mid- 90s. Stark was hit, however, the leisure and recreational traffic. could Following assessment of traffic experts, even with rising passenger numbers, the way traffic on a sustainable basis when the workload of the ships would be improved. These go far understaffed in many cases. An intelligent management and use of small passenger vessels, which can be used flexibly depending on demand, would then provide a decrease of exposure to noise and exhaust fumes for residents. The change can be gradual and will be used successively to get started with an emission-free passenger shipping. At the same time by smaller vessels would also be more jobs in the passenger shipping Incurred could increase the diversity of suppliers and shipping companies would accordingly make zielgruppenspezifischere offers. Not least would be more compatible with smaller vessels and leisure facilities and a greening of the channel.
passenger management and access other providers, however, require a review of ownership in relation to the Anlegstellen. As long docks along the canal are a few privately owned shipping companies, the economic incentive for this positive scenario is in fact low. A separation of ownership of docks and ships and transport services would therefore be useful. For the management of moorings should be a kind of public or social economy organized "Agency" be established.
