Eurostat
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. Provenance: Eurostat keyless JSON-stat API, free reuse with attribution (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU) - please cite Eurostat. Primary key: (year, country_code). 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.
