Ports of Genoa: the Southern Gateway to EuropePorts of Genoa
I porti di Genova, Savona e Vado - riuniti nel nome Ports of Genoa - compongono il più importante polo portuale italiano in termini di volumi movimentati, diversificazione produttiva e valore economico, capolinea nel Mediterraneo del corridoio-Rhine Alpine: la porta di accesso da Sud all’Europa.
Europe has an extensive network of over 40,000 km of inland waterways that provide a congestion-free means of transporting goods. Three new waterway links are being constructed to better connect major economic centers by 2020-2025. Inland shipping produces far less carbon emissions than truck transport, saves on energy costs, and provides reliable transportation without traffic jams. Modern technology now allows for efficient management of vessel traffic through river information services.
Transport includes movement of people and goods using vehicles, animals, or humans. Modes of transport include land, water, and air. Land transport includes roads, railways, and pipelines. Important global highways connect cities across continents, while rail networks vary in gauge between countries. Water transport via oceans and inland waterways is efficient for bulk cargo over long distances. Notable shipping routes circle the globe. Air transport is fastest but most expensive, with key intercontinental routes connecting major cities by air. Pipelines efficiently transport liquids and gases. Communications have advanced with satellites and internet now connecting the world digitally.
This document summarizes key Turkish ports and their container terminal operations. It includes maps of the Mediterranean and Turkey locating major ports.

Role and means of river transportation in EuropeEugene Tkachenko
Inland waterways play an important role in transporting goods across Europe. Over 37,000 kilometers of waterways connect hundreds of cities and industrial regions across 13 European countries. Inland waterway transport accounts for around 7% of total transport modes in Europe. Countries with the highest density of inland waterways networks are the Netherlands and Belgium. The Rhine river accounts for 68% of total inland waterway transport across Europe and moves goods like metals, chemicals, and fuels between countries. Inland waterway transport is most competitive for distances of 200-300 km or over 400 km due to its low variable costs over large transport volumes. Reliable infrastructure, sufficient transport volumes and distances, and integrated transport services are necessary for further development
Ukraine's Ministry of Infrastructure promotes opportunities in the country's transportation infrastructure for investors.
