Over 81 million extra for Flemish inland navigation infrastructure

Inland navigation in Flanders is on the rise. Transported volumes are growing year on year and 2018 is already being touted as a new record year. In the first six months, freight volumes rose by 2% to 37 million tonnes compared to the first half of last year. The number of containers transported by inland navigation improved by over 6% to 429,000 units. But good growth figures were also registered in other goods groups such as foodstuffs, solid fuels, metals and industrial products.
