The Olympic Delivery Authority originally intended to move 50% by weight of construction materials by sustainable transport, with particularly emphasis on water-borne freight.  But the barge company has been disappointed by the amount of traffic it has handled in connection with the Games; demand for cargo to be carried by barge has been hit by a combination of cheap road haulage rates and the delay in opening Prescott Lock, which connects the Thames to the Olympic site.
