Water transport is divided into inland waterway and maritime transport. However, not every country has access to the sea and not every country has a well-developed inland waterway network to carry goods. In any case, the choice of each of these modes of water transport to carry freight is subject to proper management of information and material flows, with information technologies playing an important role in its successful development. Application of information technology tools in water transport can also help to optimize routes and to better plan the fleet and freight carriage. This is actually one of the objectives of electronic marine and river information service system. Reduction of administrative maritime costs is one of the advantages of the e-maritime initiative. This section will address issues related to waterborne (inland and maritime) transport and the IT systems used in it.
