To be a little wordy, you can also use \'collection(/concentration), distribution and transportation\'.

To be more accurate, try \'concentration, dispersion and transportation\'.

If you refer to the capacity of ports, transportation or handling capacity is concise;

If you talk about rivers for transporting cargo, \'collection, distribution and transportation\' is fitting;

If you emphasize rivers that accomodate ships and boats, then \'concentration, dispersion and transportation\' might be proper.
