Freight transport on rivers, channels and in the ports:
Saxony‐Anhalt owns 580 km shippable waterways and is part of the European waterway net.
The backbone of the local waterways is the river Elbe which connects the hinterland to the
North Sea. The waterway net is completed by the Lower Havel Waterway, Mittelland
Channel and the Elbe‐Havel‐Channel.
Saxony‐Anhalt holds 5 ports.
In 2007 the volume of transhipment in ship freight traffic assessed 7.5 Mio tons.
4.2 INTERMODAL TRANSPORT
Intermodal transport mainly takes place in the 5 ports of countrywide importance. Since
1995 the country government invested in the ports to guarantee the intermodality of the
ports. For example replacements and expansions of the port railways happened.
