Inland waterways have potential to a valuable part of the overall freight and passenger transport offer in the UK. There is ongoing engagement from the Department with representative sector organisations to understand the opportunities and requirements for increased use of rivers, to move both freight and people, in addition to existing grants available to encourage a shift to water-freight.
