Rhenus Logistics, in collaboration with duisport, HGK Shipping, and Viking Cruises, has officially launched the Allianz Wasserstraße (Inland Waterway Alliance) in Germany. This initiative, established in Berlin, aims to bolster the significance of inland waterways as a robust and environmentally conscious component of European supply chains.

The alliance plans to actively seek enhanced political backing in both Berlin and Brussels. Key objectives include securing increased investment, fostering dependable policy decisions, and establishing a regulatory environment conducive to the modernization of inland waterway infrastructure.

Michael de Reese, CEO of Rhenus Port Logistics, emphasized the strategic value of inland waterways to Europe’s logistics network, asserting that they warrant greater recognition.

Through a unified voice, the Allianz Wasserstraße will represent the inland waterway sector and champion the development of efficient, sustainable, and future-oriented transport infrastructure throughout Europe.
