Multimodal network operator Samskip and inland waterway transport provider Pro-Log are celebrating the 10th anniversary of barge operations connecting Rotterdam and Duisburg by adding a second vessel, increasing service frequency to six times weekly, the company said in its press release.
May 1, 2016 completes the first decade in the cooperation between the two unitised transport specialists, one a pan-European operator of ships, trains, trucks and multimodal equipment, and the other a dedicated river barge operator.
Adding a second vessel increased the service offering to six times a week in both directions, while also making it possible to expand the offering by adding calls in Nijmegen within the schedule.
The partners marked the occasion of their 10-year cooperation in an informal event held at Samskip's corporate headquarters in Rotterdam, marking the service launch date of May 1, 2006.
