Inland Water Transport

About inland water transport

Inland water transport, including rivers and canals, represents an important, alternative and environmentally friendly way of transporting goods. Inland water vessels can carry the equivalent of between 14 and 500 truckloads and the total external cost of transport amounts to only EUR 10 per 1,000 tonne kilometres.

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) works for smooth and efficient inland water transport across the region, as well as for further expansion of networks to take ultimate advantage of this safe and sustainable mode of transport. More...
