Advantages of Inland Shipping

Barge transportation is one of the most energy efficient forms of transportation and is also much faster than most people realize. The capacity of one barge is equivalent to 15 jumbo rail hoppers or 65 trucks. A 15-barge tow consists of the same volume as a 225 unit train or 990 trucks.

Clearly, the inland waterways are well suited for shipping bulk materials and steel products. Considering the variety of barges available and the increasing use of containerization, almost any product or commodity is suitable for inland waterway transportation.

Use of the inland waterways to access international markets is becoming a timely, cost effective way of moving goods to such destinations. The benefit of transportation on the inland waterways are only enhanced by the service and dedication that Logistic Services Inc, is committed to providing its clients.
