Inland waterway transportation plays an important role in China's economic development. In recent years, state and local governments increased their investment in inland water transportation and inland shipping capacity grows continuously. Although inland water transportation developed steadily, it is still uncoordinated with the development of market economy in some respects. In comparison to the developed countries, China's inland water transportation resources and its advantages have not yet been fully developed and exploited. In this paper, the development status of China's inland water transportation, the present problems in shipping capacity, ship type, competition, management, technical equipment and security system were analyzed comprehensively and the methods to solve these problems were proposed. The results are instructive for the sustainable development of inland water transportation in China.
