The aim of the Ida-Viru region's waterway network and business development project is to improve the connection of the region's waterways between the North Coast and Peipus and to develop a network of entrepreneurs around them. In addition, reorganise business support services to support entrepreneurs and increase the attractiveness of the region. The connecting link of the project is the Narva-Jõesuu mule, which will be renovated, ensuring a better connection to the Narva River and creating additional opportunities for the mule to provide services.
