methods, notes and classification Goods transport by inland waterways methods, notes and classification

Inland waterway transport progressed by only 17 % in nearly three decades. It should however be noted that the efficiency of this transport mode made a big step forward since the transport performance was done with a considerably reduced vessel fleet. For some countries, like the Netherlands, it is the second mode of transport after road, and for other countries, it still has a major share of the market.
