Inland shipping
Inland waterway logistics utilizes an extensive network of rivers and canals to transport large cargo volumes between industrial hubs and seaports (vice versa and interconnecting). As a smart, green, and reliable freight transport method, it serves as a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to road and rail transport.
Cost reduction with one point of control
We at Peterson act as your strategic partner and take regie over the entire logistics chain, so your team stays focused while we keep the flow under control. With one point of contact, we connect transport with inspections and analyses to improve supply chain efficiency and strengthen strategic logistics planning. This one-stop-shop approach unburdens your organisation and supports a cost-effective alternative to road or rail, while we manage modalities, cargo knowledge and relevant legislation. Peterson is more than logistics.
Inland shipping for efficient bulk transport
If your operation depends on moving large volumes on time, inland shipping delivers a cost-effective option through green logistics solutions on rivers and canals. We match vessel type to commodity to keep loading, transport and discharge aligned with cargo requirements. Our fleet supports bulk and project cargo, powders in closed systems, and roll-on/roll-off movements for wheeled equipment.
-
Conventional barges handle bulk cargo and oversized project loads like constructions and motors
-
Silobarges move powders like cement and fly ash using closed pneumatic systems preventing contamination
-
RoRo barges enable roll-on/roll-off transport for wheeled cargo including trucks, cranes and cars
