Trimodal network

Our connections to the sea ports

As a network of container terminals, our own barge and rail services, and a truck/e-truck fleet, we offer transport solutions in combined transport. By shifting transport to rail and inland waterway, lower greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved on certain transport routes compared with transport by road alone.

Transport capacities of the Contargo fleet

Graphic showing how many TEU the barges carry

By barge

Contargo's permanent fleet includes 40 barges and 15 push barges, which convey 15,772 TEU. We would need approx. 10,514 trucks to transport the same quantity by direct truck. Conclusion: Barge transport can help reduce the strain on the road network and, on many routes, results in lower greenhouse gas emissions per transported unit than transport by road alone.

By rail

Contargo runs 68 trains per week, which transport 5,900 TEU. We would need approx. 3,478 trucks to transport the same quantity by direct truck. Conclusion: Depending on the route, rail transport can result in lower CO₂e emissions than comparable road transport. The actual savings depend on the route, capacity utilisation and transport concept..

Modal split at Contargo

To transport large quantities over long distances, we use barges and rail transport for most of the journey. Trucks are primarily used for the local door-to-door delivery and for collecting the containers from the customer.

Conclusion: the advantages of the individual modes of transport can be used to maximum effect in Contargo’s modal split.
