First container barge sails between CSP Zeebrugge and Wielsbeke

The barge ‘Emuna’ (photo) with a capacity of 48 teu covered the route via the Ringvaart in Bruges in 10 hours. Dany Eyben, business development manager of Delcatrans, the operator of River Terminal Wielsbeke, speaks of a successful first test. “A second vessel will follow next week. The aim is to go to a weekly connection if there are sufficient volumes,” he says.
