The Keweenaw Waterway is a navigation passage with openings to Lake Superior at either end. Analysis of wind data and moored thermistor measurements indicates that movement of water into and out of the waterway is strongly influenced by surface winds through at least two mechanisms. One is direct forcing of waterway flows by the surface wind stress. The other is flow driven by pressure gradient...

The Role of the Danube River in Trans-European Waterway Network
 In 20th century, Region was subject to numerous and far-reaching political transformations, which had a negative impact on expansion waterway transport, affected mainly by political, economical military crises that took place 1990s. Nowadays, only 9% all river cargo is shipped via River. European Union makes an effort increas...

South America has been developed from its coast to hinterlands since the beginning of Western colonization. However, this point, no significant effort made integrate interior. Waterways transportation can be considered most sustainable inland mode due low CO2 emissions per ton cargo transport. With in mind, paper investigates history, challenges and opportunities past proposals for construction...

This paper investigates patterns in the demand for barge transportation along the inland waterway system. Non-parametric techniques including both rolling regression and locally weighted regressions are used to visually analyze the pattern of elasticity estimates along the river at the pool level. The results of these non-parametric approaches visually indicate that barge demand elasticity may ...

Passenger transportation by river vessels plays an important role for the mobility of population, especially in remote areas. Considering social significance transport state provides it with comprehensive support. State support measures include development waterway infrastructure and subsidizing ports, northern regions country.

The article is devoted to the problem of assessing feasibility switching part road transport in areas adjacent Unified Deep-water System Russia delivery schemes using inland waterway transport. Container cargoes passing through seaports are considered as potential cargo flows. main directions these flows and their volumes determined. magnitude decrease average range calculated. conditions under...
