Market-oriented solutions for a wide range of goods
While speed has become a way of life, 100% reliability is the key to proper planning of production and distribution processes. What the waterways lose in speed is more than made up for in the precise departure and arrival times. And what are an extra 1 or 2 days for land transport, when a container has just traveled across the sea for 21 days?
Integrated transport door-to-door
Modern technology and planning techniques combined with the growing network of intermodal terminals make inland shipping an ideal component of an integrated transport system, providing tailor made, door-to-door logistics products that can be used in partnership with road hauliers.
Long and short distances
New destinations for inland shipping now mean increasingly shorter distances are viable. In Belgium, France and the Netherlands, more than 30% of the traffic is carried over a distance of less than 50km.
Floating stock
One of the key competitive advantages of inland shipping is the ability to provide low-cost buffer stock storage combined with prompt delivery times. No more expensive storage solutions at the factory gate!
