Beyond moving cargo on inland waterways, the fleet also handles additional responsibilities. Seven bilge de-oiling boats manage the removal of waste containing oil and grease generated during ship operations. A key duty involves collecting bilge water and ensuring its proper disposal in line with regulations.
Our seven bunker boats handle the provision of supplies such as lubricants and fresh water to cargo and passenger ships.
Inland waterway vessels offer a lot of cargo capacity. For example, it is estimated that a river barge can carry between 40 and 60 times the load of a truck.
Due to their high carrying capacity, inland waterway transportation provides a cost-effective option for moving goods.
In comparison with other transport options, inland waterway shipping is not only more climate friendly, but also offers additional benefits, such as reducing congestion on the road networks.

Inland waterway transportation describes the movement of goods along inland waterways – including rivers and canals. Accordingly, inland waterway logistics covers the shipment of a wide range of cargo via these routes.
Compared with other transport options, inland waterway shipping is more environmentally friendly due to its high carrying capacity and relatively low energy use. The mix of large load volumes and minimal staffing needs also makes inland waterway shipping a cost-effective mode of transport. It also helps ease congestion across road and rail networks.
The duration of the transport is primarily determined by the distance that needs to be covered.
There are hardly any restrictions in inland waterway logistics – ranging from bulk goods to general cargo, as well as waste, nearly every kind of freight can be transported.
