Inland port


An inland port is a port on an inland waterway, such as a river, lake, or canal, which may or may not be connected to the sea. The term "inland port" is also used to refer to a dry port.

Examples

The United States Army Corps of Engineers, which has three primary mission areas: Engineer Regiment, military construction, and civil works, publishes biannually a list of such locations and for this purpose states that "inland ports" are ports that are located on rivers and do not handle deep draft ship traffic. The list includes ports such as St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and Memphis.
A dense network of inland waterways including ports exists also in Europe, as well as in China and Brazil.
