RIS Center Ruse, operated by BPI Co., provides a complete picture of the navigational situation in the Bulgarian section of the Danube, which helps the safe work of the ship skippers and facilitates the control by the responsible institutions. 

The magnificent building of the RIS Center has been put on the face of a postcard of the EU, as a recognition of a successfully implemented EU project.
