2.6 IMPORTANT CHEMICAL INDUSTRY COMPANIES AND THEIR LINK TO
WATERWAYS
This chapter describes the location of important chemical companies along the corridor of
the Elbe river and the Danube river and the future corridor of the planned Danube-Elbe-Oder
channel. Obviously, the most important chemical factories, particularly in the field of heavy
chemical industry, are located along navigable (or at least navigation enabling) waterways. This is
due to high water consumption during the production of chemicals.
Because of the location, waterway transportation is evidently the most suitable mode of
transport for supply and for distribution of products.
Waterway transport is desirable especially at times when road and railway network are
overloaded and often unreliability, furthermore when considering the economic and ecological
aspects.
