Both the shape and the length of Poland's inland waterways network have remained almost unchanged for years, while the weight of the inland waterways freight by Polish fleet owners decreased. Factors that directly impacted the decline in inland waterways freight and transport performance, included inadequately developed waterways and unfavourable navigational conditions that determined the basic parameters of the fleet, i.e. the relatively low loading capacity of barges. Regarding a small share of inland waterways transport, the volume of transported cargo expressed in tonnes was highly unstable due to the nature of this type of transport.
