Water Transport Policy

Water Transport Policy refers to the set of rules and strategies governments create to manage and improve how water-based transportation—such as ships, barges, and ferries—is used and regulated. It aims to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable movement of goods and people via waterways, while protecting aquatic environments. The policy covers infrastructure development, safety standards, environmental measures, and coordination among stakeholders. Overall, it seeks to maximize the benefits of water transport, reduce costs, and support economic growth, all while safeguarding water resources and ecosystems.
