Marine Highway

The Marine Highway is a network of navigable shipping routes along coastlines and inland waterways that facilitate the transportation of goods and passengers via ships and barges. Managed by the U.S. Department of Transportation, it aims to reduce road traffic, lower transportation costs, and decrease environmental impact by shifting freight movement from heavily congested highways to marine transportation. These routes connect key ports and inland areas, providing an efficient, reliable, and sustainable alternative for moving large volumes of cargo across regions.
