A boat leaves a canal lock
A man leans against a lock to open it as a boat is waiting to pass through. A lock keepers cottage is situated to the left of the image.
A canal boat with passengers waits to ascend a lock, the gates of which are currently closed.
It's self proclaimed lock appreciation day! Locks are a marvel of engineering on the canals - see if you can name any of the locks pictured #canallock #inlandwaterways #lockappreciationday
A canal boat is stationary on the water with a background of vibrant spring blossom on the trees.

Daffodils about to bloom in the foreground with a narrow boat and the canal just visible behind.
There are signs of spring everywhere on the waterways by the end of February - it won't be long until things are bursting into life. Share any of your spring photos with us.

Eisey lock, part of the Thames and Severn canal restoration, was abandoned in 1927 and was restored with significant volunteer work led by the Cotswold Canal Trust, Waterway Recovery Group and restoration group Dig Deep #canalrestoration #inlandwaterways
There's some interesting sights to behold on our waterways! Whether it's unusual craft, out of place wildlife or more swans than you thought possible, there's always something to see! What's the most unusual thing you've ever seen? Share them with us in the comments #inlandwaterways #unusualsights
Rising demand for #breakbulk and #projectcargo transport is driving a shift to #inlandwaterways, as mining and energy sectors seek greener, cost efficient alternatives to congested roads. #maritime #logistics #sustainability #RhineRiver

Aqueducts are pretty amazing, but maybe don't give it too much thought if crossing the 126ft high Pontcysyllte Aqueduct! It's also 100ft long, completed in 1805. #inlandwaterways #ukcanals #acqueduct

Today we remember all those who served in conflict. Often forgotten are those that continued to support the war effort from home waters. The men and women who kept vital supplies flowing through the network worked long hours in challenging conditions. #inlandwaterways #remembranceday
An image of a lock flight with countryside surrounding, blue sky and the tag line 5000 miles of waterways, 1 future to protect.
Did you know we have more than 5000 miles of waterways in the UK? That's the same as coast to coast of the USA and back again. And it deserves protecting. #iwa #inlandwaterways #ukcanals #navigatetherisk #5000miles #wedigcanals
This is good news! A well maintained, accessible network which preserves the important heritage of our canal system benefits all. The Cotswold Canal trust shares the same goal as IWA in creating a navigable network. Investment is needed. #inlandwaterways #ukcanals

A colour postcard in landscape format. It shows a red brick building with chimney reflected in the canal basin at a museum. The sky is entering dusk and the whole thing looks quite romantic, amazing given it is an industrial site!

[5/6] Le port de #Portes-lès-Valence, plus petit, peut compléter l’activité conteneurs de #Lyon. Il alimente déjà la base logistique de Leroy Merlin. Son emplacement stratégique entre #Rhône et #Grenoble offre des marges de développement régionales. #geography #inlandwaterways #corridor
[4/6] Malgré les ambitions logistiques, la demande industrielle reste faible. L’arrêt du charbon, la lente reconversion industrielle et les obstacles fonciers freinent la dynamique. Inspira, pourtant "site industriel clé en main", peine à attirer des implantations. #geography #inlandwaterways
[3/6] Rhenus investit 17 millions d’euros sur 7 ans pour relancer des ports sous-exploités. Il mise sur des flux diversifiés : acides, conteneurs, produits agricoles ou forestiers. En parallèle, la CNR finance un nouveau raccordement ferroviaire à 20 millions d’euros. #geography #inlandwaterways
[1/6] Emma Rodot analyse l'extension du groupe allemand #Rhenus, nouvel acteur du fret fluvial sur le #Rhône. Ce logisticien reprend l’exploitation de deux ports stratégiques à Salaise-sur-Sanne et Portes-lès-Valence pour développer l’axe #Méditerranée-Rhône-Saône (MERS). #geography #inlandwaterways

PNWA teamed up with @wheatgrowers to host @UMWA_waterways for a weeklong tour of the Columbia-Snake River System! Traveling M-84 from Astoria to Lewiston, we highlighted the power of partnerships & investment in our inland waterways. #MarineHighway84 #PNWA #InlandWaterways
This is made possible by 5G mobile communications and is intended as a building block to alleviate the shortage of skilled workers in inland shipping.
In the Netherlands, autonomously operated inland vessels have already become part of everyday working life.
#InlandWaterways #Transportation
That is why Germany is now also testing its second autonomous inland waterway vessel, which travels the rivers completely remotely.
#InlandWaterways #Transportation #autonomyDriving
Inland waterway transport is an essential means of transporting goods for Germany and Europe. An inland waterway vessel that transports goods on the rivers replaces 150 trucks that would have to drive on the roads.
