Abstract

The geographical conditions of Colombia limit connectivity among regions, making communication between different areas of the country difficult. Although Colombia has a major waterway system that could facilitate regional communication, much of the territory is functionally disjointed, which is why the government and private operators seek to promote inland waterway transport and improve their safety.
