Waterborne transport are not main driving forces among transport modes and to increase environmental and climate change by greenhouse gas emissions and other impacts of human activities as whole. However, the waterborne transport sector should evaluate the possibilities to contribute to reduction of anthropogenic GHG emissions to emphasize navigation as an environmentally sound mode. Moreover, the waterborne transport could be observed as the GHG emitter on two ways as "high carbon" navigation and "low carbon" navigation depending on many reasons (fuel, propulsion system, ship building, etc.).In this paper we are presenting some research results including specially waterborne transport and navigation from the European Commission project under the title "SUPPORTING RESEARCH ON CLIMATE-FRIENDLY TRANSPORT" (Acronym REACT) in Seventh Framework Programme (2009-2011).
