Internal Water Transport (Barges)
I'd like to see barges added for local island transport.
Right now we have belts, trucks, trains, and world-map cargo ships, but nothing for moving resources between points on the same island using water. With the addition of bridges, amphibious vehicles, and docks that can be placed anywhere, internal waterways have become much more useful, but there isn't a transport option that takes advantage of them.
My idea would be simple:
Barge docks/terminals for loading and unloading.
Point-to-point routes similar to trains.
Support for bulk goods and liquids.
This would open up a lot of possibilities for maps with canals, artificial islands, harbors, and district-based layouts. It wouldn't replace trains, just provide another logistics option where water already exists.
I think it would fit well with the direction the game has been moving since the bridges and amphibious vehicle update.

RollingStenOften requested feature. I suppose devs are already considering that given they overhauled ships and gave them pathfinging. That may be step forward to this.
