Inland harbor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Inland port. (Discuss)

An inland harbor is a harbor that is quite far away from the ocean or sea, such as Berlin, Germany or Paris, France. Inland harbours are connected to a large body of water by an important river or canal passing near the center of the city.

The Danube in Europe, the Mississippi River in the United States, and the Yangtze River in the People's Republic of China are transportation routes for many cities in each case.

[edit] Definition

Inland harbor should not be confused with Inland port which is a transport hub connected by rail or road to the ocean rather than by a water connection.
