Construction raw-material shipping

Raw materials for construction includes that mechanically processed granulates, such as broken or sifted materials. These are suitable for use across the construction industry, from infrastructure to residential projects. The shipment of raw materials covers various types of crushed stone in different sizes. These are used in waterworks, road building, railway construction, and housing. For example, sand and gravel, limestone, basalt and granite, although this category increasingly includes a number of reclaimed raw materials. 

Schip unloading large stones

The Dutch and Belgian Meuse 

Our cargo vessels transport large volumes of freight on the Meuse, through the Netherlands and Belgium. By combining transport streams from the south and east back to the west, we achieve high efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Connecting transport allows us to minimise empty return trips, making our operations more sustainable.

Multifunctional uses 

Some member vessels feature a sand chute in the hold, allowing them to pump excess water directly from wet sand. This capability makes wet sand a practical cargo option for these vessels. As a result, they can serve multiple functions and adapt to various transport needs.
