HGK Shipping and the Port of Rotterdam Authority signed a long-term cooperation agreement to promote sustainable concepts for inland waterway services.
The document was signed on 20 April and focusses on the energy revolution and logistics for hydrogen, as well as reducing CO2 emissions by using drive concepts and digitalisation.
According to the port of Rotterdam, the agreement ensures that stable supply chains will continue between Germany and the Netherlands, and within Europe.
Additionally, among other things, the partners will analyse how the need for services to transport, store and tranship alternative energy sources will probably develop.
Another important factor in this connection is how to make the inland waterway fleet more ecologically friendly and draw up implementation concepts for renewable engine fuels.
