New barge route eases Moerdijk–Ruhr road congestion
On 3 February WEC Lines, in partnership with A2B-online, Tailwind Shipping Lines and the Danser Group, is launching a barge service between Moerdijk’s Combined Cargo Terminal (CCT) and the Duisburg Gateway Terminal (DGT).
The link will be served by the ‘Tranquilo’ and will run twice weekly, offering an eco-friendly and efficient alternative to road transport for cargo between the Ruhr area and southern Europe.
Operations in the Duisburg terminal, set to become fully greenhouse gas neutral, align with WEC Lines’ target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The new connection also strengthens Moerdijk’s role as an intermodal hub, reduces road congestion and expands short-sea links to Iberia. (pb)
