Inland waterway freight (annual, Europe)

Annual goods transported by inland waterways, in thousand tonnes, by reporting country, for EU member states, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and EU aggregates. Eurostat dataset iww_go_atygo ('Transport by type of good (from 2007 onwards with NST2007)'), filtered to freq=A, tra_cov=TOTAL ('Total transport': national plus international traffic loaded or unloaded in the reporting country), nst07=TOTAL ('Total goods', all NST 2007 divisions), typpack=TOTAL ('Total packaging') and unit=THS_T ('Thousand tonnes'). Each row is one (year, country): the weight of goods carried on the country's navigable inland waterways. Method: Eurostat compiles inland waterway transport statistics reported by the member states (vessel and goods movements on rivers, canals and lakes). Units: thousand tonnes. Caveats: countries without navigable inland waterways publish nothing (genuine absence, never zero-filled); the table's historical EU aggregates (EU28, EU27_2007, EU25, EU15) are kept verbatim alongside EU27_2020; the UK and other non-EU/EFTA/non-candidate countries are dropped by the connector's commercial-use geo rule. Coverage: ~20 geographic units after the geo rule, 2007 to the present, annual.

Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly; Eurostat updates the table each summer. Sample use: filter country_code='DEU' to track German inland waterway freight alongside the rail- and road-freight datasets.
