</ref> Hull also has a large freight port and an active fishing port. [[Immingham]] carries much freight transport via [[DFDS Tor Line]] and the [[Stena Line]]. [[Goole]] is Britain's most inland port and is used mostly for importing commodities such as [[coal]] and [[timber]].

The region also has a canal network. The [[Leeds and Liverpool Canal]] links West Yorkshire with the North West and the [[Aire and Calder Navigation]] links Leeds and the coal fields of West and North Yorkshire with the ports to the East of the region.  There are also several smaller canals in the region, often built for quite specific purposes.  Many stretches of the smaller canals in the region have been backfilled. The steepest locks in Britain are at Bingley – [[Bingley Five Rise Locks]], built by [[John Longbotham]], who designed the canal.
