Western Europe uses its rivers and hundreds of thousands of km of canals to ship between a quarter and a half of its freight this way. It's the most economical and environmentally friendly form of transport. Youre right that this sort of infrastructure does not come cheap, which is why hydrogen dirigibles are very interesting.
