Abstract: This publication examines the constraints in developing inland waterway transport (IWT) based on a study in the PRC’s Hunan province. Six major challenges threatening the viability of IWT and its integration into the whole logistics chain have been identified as investment constraints, market constraints, information constraints, technical constraints, regulatory constraints, and an inadequate inland ports and logistics system.
