Urban waterway transportation uses small barges to

contribute to last - mile logistics complementing truck -

based solutions .

A number of European cities have been built

around rivers and canals that can be used to ease

congestion on narrow urban roads .

Some of them have rediscovered the ship to deliver

food and beverages as well as construction material

to inner - city recipients and take out waste on return .
