Environmentally friendly, reliable and cost-efficient: Inland waterway transport is an integral part of logistics. We ensure your freight reaches its destination on time through Europe’s waterways.
Inland waterway transport offers many advantages for modern supply chains: large transport capacities, reliable planning, energy-efficient routes and a sustainable alternative to road and rail. This enables supply flows to be managed reliably, cost-effectively and in a resource-efficient way, even for complex projects or fluctuating volumes.
With our expertise and experience, we ensure your freight is transported properly and efficiently. Logistics services for bulk goods and general cargo allow us to provide tailor-made solutions. Rounding out our portfolio, we also meet the required European standards for transporting waste products such as waste wood, glass, contaminated soil and industrial slag. Additionally, our GMP-certified fleet enables us to manage various GMP goods with reliability.
In conjunction with transporting goods on inland waterways, our fleet also takes on other important tasks. Seven bilge de-oiling boats are responsible for the removal of waste containing oil and grease from ship operations. One of their main duties is collecting and properly disposing of bilge water.
Our seven bunker boats, operating on all European waterways, supply goods and passenger ships with lubricants and fresh water.
Inland waterway vessels offer a lot of cargo capacity. For example, it is estimated that a river barge can carry between 40 to 60 times the load of a truck.
Because of their large transport volume, inland waterways provide a cost-effective way to transport goods.
Compared to other modes of transportation, inland waterway transport is more climate friendly and helps reduce congestion on road networks.
Inland waterway transport is one of the most reliable modes of transportation for time-critical shipments and enables precise just-in-time delivery.

Inland waterway transport refers to shipping on rivers and canals. This form of logistics covers the movement of various goods along these inland routes.
Compared to other modes of transportation, inland waterway shipping is more environmentally friendly due to its high transport capacity and comparatively low energy consumption. The combination of high payloads and low manpower requirements also makes inland waterway shipping a cost-effective mode of transport. It also helps ease congestion on rail and road networks.
The duration of the transport depends largely on the distance that needs to be covered.
There are nearly no limits to inland waterway logistics: From bulk goods to general cargo, and from waste to GMP goods, virtually any type of cargo can be transported.
