Water transport offers great advantages for transporting almost all bulk and general cargo. It is reliable, cost-effective, efficient as well as producing substantial CO₂ reductions. So the question is not whether inland shipping is interesting for you, but how you use it. You will hear more about that during our webinar. Experts and entrepreneurs explain how the switch to water works in practice:

Façade Beton opts for inland shipping

Façade Beton produces a variety of paving materials for (semi)public spaces and private gardens.

What does this step mean for the logistics process?

You will also hear whether transport by barge is interesting if your company is not located near the water. Just as if this also applies to your supplier or customer.
