Why Inland Shipping?

Inland waterways goods transport is maintaining a modal share of 6% of all transport goods in the European Union and this share goes up to nearly 40% in countries with dense networks of waterways such as the Netherlands.

Despite being the cleanest in-land way of transport, regulations for inland shipping emissions are getting stricter and heavy competition from (increasingly) clean trucks is strong. This begs for even more sustainable options!

Shipping containers over water is over 9 times more energy efficient compared to transport over land
