The Amazon river is the world’s largest river by discharge volume of water. It is also the second longest river in the world. The river is located in South America and flows through the Amazon rainforest. The river is navigable for most of its length, but there are some sections that are impassable.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River is navigable for much of its length, with boats able to travel between the cities of Manaus and Belém. However, there are sections of the river where the currents are too strong to allow for navigation.<\/p>\n

Is Amazon River suitable for navigation? <\/h2>\n

The Amazon River system is the longest navigation channel in the world. No Dams regulates its flow, no bridges span their banks, and no dredgers alter its course. It is continuous natural river channel appropriate for tug navigation.<\/p>\n
