Frachtschiffe - Binnenschifffahrt auf europäischen Wasserstrassen (Typenkompass)

European waterways are used by thousands of cargo and tanker ships, whose size becomes apparent only when they dock.

Large volumes of goods can be transported with low energy and personnel, far more than by rail or truck with the same engine power. Modern ship engines produce fewer pollutants, and new fuels such as natural gas are being tested.

In this type guide, Ingo Steller, an expert in inland shipping, provides an overview of the different types of cargo ships operating on the Rhine, Danube, Elbe, and Oder.
