Shipping Expert Walter Marquardt, deputy head of the Transport Ministry's inland shipping section, questions the gloomy forecasts, noting that "traffic predictions have almost always proved too low." Even if inland shipping's share of commerce fails to grow proportionately, says Marquardt, it is still bound to increase in absolute terms as growing factories-in Germany and elsewhere-require ever greater amounts of the ores and bulk raw materials that the slow-chugging barges still carry so economically...
