LINKED TO SHORTSEA

Like the railways, inland shipping is also benefiting from the pressure experienced by road haulage due to toll levies and European legislation. Inland shipping is nevertheless a relatively slow form of transport. But in view of the developments and innovations that are improving the quality of cold storage, the necessity for daily transport is decreasing all the time and carriers are able to accept the extra travel time without problem. The 45ft concept provides inland shipping with the opportunity of rapid transhipment with shortsea shipping, to which it is inextricably linked.
