Inland Navigation is an independent publication about European inland waterway transport: routes, ports, vessels, energy choices and the people who keep freight and passenger services moving.
Articles are published under the collective identity Inland Navigation Editorial Desk. The desk name identifies the publication’s editorial function; it does not imply a named professional, a fleet operator or a regulatory authority.
A domain with a transport history
This domain previously hosted the Observatory of European Inland Navigation associated with the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine. The CCNR’s 2014 launch announcement documents that earlier project. This publication is independent of CCNR, CESNI and the former Observatory. Links to those organisations identify sources, not an affiliation or endorsement.
Some older addresses now lead to new, independently written guides on the same subject. These guides are not presented as copies of the former pages. Historical records retain their dates, and present operating status is left unverified unless a current source establishes it.
