Our Mission

Strengthening the inland shipping industry in Europe. We aim to create a more efficient and cost-effective transport network. Whether you’re a company looking to send goods faster and cheaper, or a barge owner aiming to transport more cargo, we’re here to support you.

With our groundbreaking platform, we facilitate a seamless exchange of freight and services, transforming the inland barging sector. At the heart of our mission are three core values: sustainability, competitiveness, and customer-focused service.

With almost a decade of experience in the inland barging industry, one of the challenges I consistently saw coming back was the accessability and modernisation of the market. With Central Barge we offer a unique perspective on these challenges and are committed to leading the charge in innovation and driving positive change within the inland barging industry.

Growing up in the shipping industry, I first hand saw the challenge of filling your schedule and finding reliable partners in the NWE market. We started Central Barge with the idea of supporting every player in the market to optimize their operations and revenue while maintaining and expanding their trusted network.
