    You do realise rivers have been our highways for thousands of years?

      Okay, pal, go ahead and transport 30,000 kilos of produce upriver within the next 2 days 16 times and tell me how efficient this river idea works out.

      Spoiler: It’s gonna be terrible.

          I don’t think the Goudvis cargo ship’s 18 Meter Width is going to fit in the canal depicted above in Utrecht, just a hunch. I can’t speak for this cargo ship specifically but cargo ships in general are incapable of going upriver.

            Feel free to nitpick this random image I got from the internet somewhere, but if you’re really that worried; there’s still a road next to the canal.

              You’re complaining that I gave your low effort reply a decent counter argument? I feel like that’s a you problem.
