3. Current Challenges & Issues Lessened by Marine Highways Gridlock: A single vessel can shift over 450 trucks or 225 rail cars from road and rail corridors to our underutilized waterways. Environment: On average, inland vessels generate 38% less greenhouse gases than trucks and 28% less than rail per ton-mile. Energy: Inland vessels move one ton of freight 370% further than trucks (576 miles compared to trucking’s 155 miles) and 139% further than rail’s 413 miles. Safety: Inland marine transportation involves only 1 fatality for every 155 by truck and 22 by rail for each billion ton-miles.
