Analysis of the impact of navigation conditions and traffic intensity on the reliability of inland waterborne transportation on the Oder River is presented in this paper. It was shown that present hydrologic conditions in this waterway do not allow to meet basic standards that every transportation system must comply with. Fundamental reasons are the low water depth and ice cover on the route. Ship failures and accidents have minor influence on reliability. The number of accidents on the Oder River depends on traffic intensity and amount of ships. The number of accidents is influenced by conditions of navigation. Such relationship is not observed on the German waterways. There the inattention of crew and excessive ship speed are the fundamental reasons of accidents.
