U.S. INLAND WATERWAYS TRADE

Transported Tonnage on U.S. Inland Waterways: All Commodities (monthly data, not seasonally adjusted)

Almost 60 percent of the U.S. domestic waterborne trade tonnage is moved on the inland waterways. This market consists of carriers that transport freight between U.S. ports. At least 80 percent of the tonnage in this trade is carried by barge.

NOTE: The current value is compared to the value from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.
