Rhenus Vietnam started the launch of our logistics services on the Rhine Lake, providing port logistics include designing, managing and operating international supply chains. Inland waterway ports serve as vital interfaces for regional and global flows of commodities in terms of transhipment, storage, and onward transportation – whether this involves raw materials or finished goods, containers, or bulk goods. Overseas, we can handle your products travelling on the water using our facilities, particularly our port terminals, and include our partners worldwide.

Service provider for inland waterway transport

A significant number of our bilge oil boats collect oil and greasy ship operating waste. Waste includes empty oil containers and oily cleaning rags from inland waterway vessels. Their primary task is the collection and professional disposal of bilge oil. Our ships can treat the bilge water while still transporting on the waterway. The separated waste oil is collected in our systems and fed into the economic cycle in processed form. We also supply goods and passenger shipping on all European waterways with marine diesel, lubricants, drinking water and other required products.
