2. *
*Less investment cost.
*Friendly Environmental means.
*Most economical means of transport.
*Much more safer than other means.
*Can handle big volume per unit 1900 Ton while Rail 1000
Ton and Road 30 Ton).
*One of the MOST important reasons:
The Possibility of Producing Barges Locally
17. *
*The site.
*The distance to the nearest Lock.
*The internal dimensions.
*The water front width between the two banks.
*The average water depth in front of the site.
*The access to the main roads network.
*The neighborhood areas.
*The possibility of future expansions.
*The current activities around.
*Others.
18. *
1. A suitable parcel of land with water front.
2. Using sophisticated equipment e.g.
a) Wide Span Gantry Crane.
b) RTG/RMG.
c) Information Technology system for management & operation.
d) Others
3. Trained staff.
4. A special layout design allowing FCL, LCL & MT containers to
be handled.

*Using all inland transportation means in transport Cargo.
*Road – Rail.
*Road – River.
*Road – Rail – River
*Establishing IWT port with the following:
*Road connections to the main road network.
*Water front serving Barges.
*Rail routes serving Trains.
25. The Project aims of the installation of a marking system along the
navigational routes to guarantee efficient day & night navigation .
Navigation Aids
* Installation of navigation markers, buoys and
beacons to identify the navigable route .
Objective :
* Sheet piles bank protection works on Beherei Canal .

35. Road, Rail & IWT economic comparison:
Equivalent Units
1 Barge = =
15 jumbo hopper
rail cars
60 Trucks
Equivalent Lengths
15 Barge Tow
= 1/4 mile
2.25 Unit Train
= 2.75 mile
900 Trucks (150 feet spacing)
= 36 miles
225
1 Barge : 1500 ton
1 Rail car: 100 ton
1 Trailer: 25 ton

Factors affect developing IWT:
1. Have a safe river routes.
2. Available day & night navigational system.
3. Having suitable water depth all the year around.
4. Having a suitable IWT fleet for carrying all kinds of
Cargo especially Containers.
5. Developing human recourse in IWT in all fields is
essential.
6. Encouraging investment in Managing & Operating River
Ports all Kinds:
a) Container Terminals.
b) Grain Silos.
c) G.C Ports.
d) Others.
