In a world that is changing at lightning speed, one principle remains unchanged for PTC Groep: the power of collaboration. As a cooperative of inland shipping entrepreneurs, our members form the heart of our organisation. The majority of our board always consists of active sailing members. This ensures that control and influence remain in the hands of the affiliated members.
Who we are
PTC Groep is a partnership of four logistics service providers: PTC, Den Breejen, Genco, and Nobel. Driven by the belief that inland shipping entrepreneurs and shippers are stronger together, we combine knowledge, experience and innovative strength. This is how we build a sustainable, future‑proof inland shipping sector.
Planning & logistics: available 24/7
Our planning department is available day and night. Every charterer within our organisation is a specialist in their own area within inland shipping logistics. As a result, you are assured of expert advice and transport that is efficient, safe and carried out according to schedule.
Within our cooperative, we combine our expertise so that we can handle any logistical challenge professionally and flexibly.
Outsourcing inventory management
Do you need support with inventory management along the waterside? We are happy to take care of this as well. Together, we make clear agreements, after which our planners manage your entire stock: reliable, efficient and fully aligned with your business processes.
Feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.
Cargos
For the planning of PTC, Genco, Den Breejen and Nobel, we use the software system Cargos. This digital support ensures transparent, accurate and efficient logistics processes.

Building the future together
PTC Groep is more than a logistics service provider. We are a cooperative platform focused on growth, knowledge sharing and sustainability. With initiatives such as Green Award certification and inspiring member stories, we strengthen our position as a sustainable alternative to road transport.
Stronger Together is not just a motto. It is our commitment to members, clients and the entire inland shipping sector. Because only together can we prepare inland shipping for the future: digital, circular and reliable.
