Sustainable barge transportation
Barging is a reliable, sustainable and cost-efficient mode of transportation for large volumes of goods as compared to trucking. Besides avoiding traffic congestions hence, the higher reliability, you can also reduce your carbon footprint as barge transportation is an eco-friendlier mode of transport. For large volumes, it is also more cost-efficient as compared to arranging for multiple truck moves.
Some of our barge services include:
- Jurong Island Terminal Barge Service
- Antwerp Hinterland Barge Service

Success Story
PSA Jurong Island Terminal in Singapore achieved a record container volume of more than 100,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in the year ending 31 December 2021. The new record volume is significant in creating a more sustainable supply chain, as it means a reduction of 100,000 truck trips between Jurong Island and PSA Terminals on mainland Singapore. Transportation of container-on-barge is more environmentally friendly as it can reduce carbon emissions of up to 30% for each TEU container as compared to trucking.
