What are the waterway transportation facilities?

Waterway traffic facilities include line infrastructure, station infrastructure, hub infrastructure and ancillary infrastructure. Transportation infrastructure refers to the fixed facilities required by various modes of transportation to complete passenger flow and logistics.

Waterway transportation is the earliest and longest of the main modes of transportation at present. Its technical and economic characteristics are large carrying capacity, low cost and less investment, but it is not flexible and has poor continuity. It is more suitable for medium and long-distance transportation of bulk, low-value, bulky and various bulk goods, especially for sea transportation, and more suitable for import and export transportation of various foreign trade goods.
