ABSTRACT: Location study for the investment project entitled Multimodal Platform considering the area of the city of Bydgoszcz and commune of Solec Kujawski last year was published. The examples of existent multimodal ports in Europe show a growing demand for goods transport by the inland waterways. On the basis of the Multimodal Port, it is planned to export cargo from the ports in Gdansk and Gdynia. So, on the Vistula's waterway between Gdansk and Bydgoszcz is the basic rule for navigators is to keep safety distance to the river bottom and on the other hand, to bridge structures. The paper presents limitation for inland ships in the area of planned multimodal port near Bydgoszcz. The analysis of navigation conditions was carried out using probabilistic model of underkeel clearance to verify typical inland vessel traffic on planned port approach. Results of this analysis can be used for further research connected with minimal safety depth determination and risk analysis in study area.
