Barge waterway

We connect the seaports of Antwerp and Rotterdam directly with Switzerland and the European hinterland via inland waterway transport – for container shipments, conventional freight, and bulk cargo.

Our inland waterway services include:

      • Container transport 
      • Conventional freight transport 
      • Bulk cargo transport 
      • Pre- and post-carriage by road and rail 
      • Customs clearance

Thanks to the high loading capacity of inland waterway vessels, large volumes can be consolidated cost-effectively, replacing many truck journeys and significantly reducing traffic on roads and border routes to Switzerland. At the same time, transport by water is particularly environmentally friendly, as it consumes significantly less energy and emits less CO₂ per ton-kilometer than pure road freight transport. A dense network of inland ports creates a seamless, predictable transport chain from the western ports to the recipient in Switzerland.
