PORT DIVISION

 

Our inland navigation activities have their centre at our site located on the right bank of the Danube river, at river kilometre 1,532.4. The recent decades have seen substantial developments there, as a result of which we now have a modern port base with a ferry terminal, waiting hall, car park, drinking water and power connection and further related services.

CARGO SHIPPING

Our company has been doing international freight transportation with its four vessels on the Danube–Rhine–Main rivers since 2009. We typically transport bulk cargo (e.g. wheat and fertilisers), steel and other cargo (e.g. timber logs, special size cargo) with our self-propelled vessels. Our cargo shipping division joined the German MSG eG in 2011 and has been operating as its member ever since.
