What is the busiest river in Europe?
you need a statistics team to answer this one. i would say, based on your question, if you mean single vessels most likely a river with a heavy workload of 'punting' a river area anywhere in the world like gondola in Venice or punts in oxford or cambridge . Or if you mean large ships coming and going, doing passenger and cargo runs it would have been the thames once but i would image its it china because of their sheer amount of export. I don't think they do a 'census' of river traffic, not on a large corellatable scale. i mean really, who could be bothered XD

How are ships able to get from thunder bay on Lake Superior to Montreal on the st Lawrence river?
Ships travel from Thunder Bay to Montreal by navigating through a series of waterways that connect Lake Superior to the St. Lawrence River. They first enter the Rainy River and then proceed to Lake of the Woods, followed by a series of canals and locks, including the Welland Canal, which facilitates passage over the Niagara Escarpment. Once in the St. Lawrence River, vessels can continue downstream to reach Montreal. This route is essential for facilitating trade and transportation across these regions.
