Effects of canals on commerce and European inland navigation
The Rhine supports 435 navigable miles with about 5 000 vessels annually, averaging 200 tons. The Danube handles roughly 800 vessels, mainly 75 to 25 tons, averaging 200 tons. Proposals connect the Danube with Prussia via the Danube Oder and to the Elbe, and extend canal routes toward Ulm, the Neckar, Main, and Mainz. Main canalization from Frankfurt to Mainz yielded notable gains, saving freight costs and coal transport. A future Strasburg to Ludwigshafen link could position Strasburg as a western inland hub while Vienna remains the eastern focal point.
