INTRODUCTION
An inland port in the wide sense, as used in common speech, is simply a port on an inland waterway such as a river, lake or canal. The term inland port is used in two different but related ways to mean either a port on an inland waterway or an inland site carrying out some functions of a seaport. Inland waterways play an important role in the transport of goods and persons in many parts of the world. Inland navigation personnel are faced with unique living and working conditions.
