INLAND NAVIGATION

Ships can simply handle more cargo

Do you need to move bulk goods?
Our facilities at Luxport and the Trier Container Terminal TCT provide access to 39,500 km of European waterways by inland navigation. Direct waterways connect our location to the crucial seaports of Antwerp and Rotterdam, to load coasters or ocean-going freighters for onward movement to the UK, Italy, Scandinavia as well as other European and non-European countries. In this manner, containers or bulk goods like building material and combustible material are transported to their destination safely and at reasonable cost.

In addition, we offer several on-site services to the steel industry like welding work, cutting, heading and much more. We invite you to use our complete trimodal logistics solutions that are located at the centre of the European traffic network.

INTERESTING FACTS

While in Germany, only 12.8% of freight is transported by barge, the figure for the Benelux countries amounts to 44.2%. This is not surprising, since the best waterways provide this major European region with direct access to the sea, and we are located in Luxembourg.

With a capacity of 1,000 metric tons, a barge can transport the same load as 40 trucks, but in comparison it only consumes one quarter of the diesel fuel and besides that, it does not use any roads.
Today's barges can carry loads of up to 10,000 metric tons, which means that their economic viability has increased even further.
