Inland waterway logistics covers the transport of goods via rivers and canals.
Compared to other modes of transportation, inland waterway shipping is more environmentally friendly due to its high transport capacity and comparatively low energy consumption. The combination of high payloads and low manpower requirements also makes this service a cost-effective mode of transport.
The duration of the transport depends largely on the distance to be covered.
There are almost no limits to transportation on inland waterways – from bulk goods to general cargo such as cement, coal, steel and its products, fertilizer, edible oil, food grains and pulses, as well as FMCG.
