The role of Inland water transport in European Inland transport

Since the dawn of history, goods and persons were transported on inland waterways, and IWT remains an important and integral part of transport today. Most of the world’s population resides in the proximity of river deltas, coastal areas and river estuaries. As such, the use of waterways for the transport of all types of goods remains a desirable option. Even more so, globalization of the world’s economy multiplies the total amount of transported goods. The constantly growing share of products and raw materials transported daily to Europe are now delivered from countries all around the globe.
