Inland waterway transport refers to shipping on 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 inland waterway shipping a cost-effective mode of transport. It additionally reduces congestion in rail and road networks.
The duration of the transport depends largely on the distance to be covered.
There are almost no limits – from bulk goods to general cargo, and from waste to GMP goods, virtually any type of cargo can be transported.
