Inland navigation

Inland navigation refers to the transportation of goods and passengers via rivers, lakes, and other inland waterways using boats, barges, or ships. It is an efficient and environmentally friendly way to move large volumes of cargo over long distances within a country or region, helping to reduce road congestion and emissions. This mode of transport often complements road and rail networks, providing a cost-effective alternative for bulk goods like coal, grain, and commodities. Inland navigation plays a vital role in trade, supply chains, and regional connectivity, supporting economic development and sustainable transportation practices.
