Abstract: With the realization of the Grand Canal’s full water supply and the strong pursuit of green and low-carbon transportation in contemporary society, the value of Grand Canal water transport has been increasingly recognized, highlighting the importance of its coordinated development with other transportation modes. This paper analyzes and combs through the characteristics, development status, and existing problems of Grand Canal water transport and other transport modes in depth, taking Jiangsu as an example. A collaboration model of Grand Canal water transport and other transport modes was built, and their collaboration degree was calculated. It is believed that the coordinated development of Grand Canal water transport and other transport modes can be greatly promoted via four aspects: optimizing the construction and governance of Grand Canal water transport, building an integrated management platform of transport modes, improving the integrated transport network structure, and promoting the deep integration of integrated shipping and tourism.
