Integrating inland waterway transport into supply chains

Coventuris provides expertise and multimodal transport services with the aim to integrate inland waterway transport (IWT) into supply chains. We believe in IWT’s growing role in decarbonising freight transport and reducing urban congestion. Through tailored logistics solutions, we help businesses transition to more sustainable and efficient supply chains. Coventuris is a member of the cluster Logistics in Wallonia and a signatory of the Brussels Green Deal for low-emission logistics.

Our services

We design, organise, and manage freight flows and multimodal transport services.

STUDIES

We conduct feasibility studies that encompass logistics engineering, cost-benefit analysis, and impact and risk assessment. With expertise across sectors such as construction, waste management, and FMCG, we can not only base our analysis on existing origins and destinations but also identify new supply chain opportunities.

TRANSPORT

Coventuris designs and manages multimodal door-to-door transport services by mobilising every link of the logistics chain. We make use of solutions to simplify multimodal logistics and reduce friction. Additionally, companies with low volumes can now access inland waterway transport solutions thanks to collaborative models.

Innovation is at the core of Coventuris. We follow a continuous innovation roadmap, conducting R&D internally and through strategic partnerships to drive progress in inland waterway logistics. For nearly a decade, we have built expertise in IWT and developed in-depth knowledge of key enablers such as multimodal logistics hubs, IT tools, containerisation, transhipment, and ship technologies. Leveraging this expertise, we identify market needs and work on the development of new solutions to enhance efficiency, modernise the sector, and promote sustainable logistics.
