The Heilbronn car transporter was built in 1964 in Pattje, Waterhuizen, the Netherlands. The 105 meter ship is equipped with 800 MWM HP, it is registered in Duisburg under ENI 4011270 and regularly commutes with its sister ship between Bratislava, Vienna and Kehlheim in Germany.
BLG LOGISTICS has been providing the Danube service since 1997 and has since transported more than 300,000 vehicles on the Danube. Inland shipping is an important part of the BLG network due to the connection to our own car terminals. Car transport by inland ship contributes to responsible treatment of the environment:
The shift from road transport to water is an important component of sustainable logistics. A barge can load 260 to 500 small cars. That corresponds to around 30 to 60 truckloads. With the same amount of energy, the barge travels 3.7 times as far. Compared to transport by rail, the energy saving is still 25 percent. With regard to the increasing volume of traffic on road and rail, inland waterway transport makes a significant contribution to relieving the dense transport network. Good Trip!
