Tremendous opportunities to substantially move freight on waterways are present in the UK; however, several challenges have been appropriately addressed, including infrastructural gaps and various institutional support programs. The paper addresses the UK's current situation of inland navigation and the key challenges affecting the sectors as a viable alternative transport solution. The article explores and summarises the geographic opportunities, commercial feasibility, and the current condition of the UK'S inland navigation sector. From the practical scenario of the UK's experience, an attempt was made by the authors to find the critical challenges and issues faced by the industry.

V Združenem kraljestvu obstajajo izjemne priložnosti za bistvene premike tovora po vodnih poteh, vendar je bilo ustrezno obravnavanih več izzivov, vključno z infrastrukturnimi vrzelmi in različnimi institucionalnimi podpornimi programi. Dokument obravnava trenutni položaj celinske plovbe v Združenem kraljestvu in ključne izzive, ki vplivajo na te sektorje kot izvedljivo alternativno prometno rešitev. Članek raziskuje in povzema geografske prilož-nosti, komercialno izvedljivost in trenutno stanje sektorja celinske plovbe v Združenem kraljestvu.
