The economic importance of Germany's federal waterways

Germany has an economically efficient network of waterways. The transport capacity of inland navigation is approximately 62 billion tonne-kilometres per year or around 60% of the transport capacity of long-distance goods transport by railway. In fact some 250 million tonnes of goods are handled every year at Germany's North and Baltic Sea ports. The 7,300 km of German federal waterways form an important part of the European waterways network. In addition, Germany's coastal waterways cover a surface of 23,000 km².
