Officially opened for navigation on May 26, 1964, on the section Koblenz-Thionville, then in 1979 until Neuves-Maisons it constitutes a major international axis for river transport: More than 4,000 merchant vessels carry more than 5 million tonnes of cargo each year. The port of Metz (57) is also the first national inland port for the shipment of agri-food products. With 15 harbours and recreational stopovers, it attracts more than 1,000 recreational boats each year.
