Lawrence River of 3,058 km, shared with United States (2008)

Central African Republic
2,800 km (the primary navigable river is
the Ubangi, which joins the River Congo; it was the traditional
route for the export of products because it connected with the
Congo-Ocean railway at Brazzaville; because of the warfare on both
sides of the River Congo from 1997, however, routes through Cameroon
became preferred by importers and exporters) (2010)

1,120 km (commercially navigable on Congo and
Oubanqui rivers above Brazzaville; there are many ferries across the

traffic only) (2010)
