Barge transport, next to rail, is an initiative to innovate the logistic system in the horticultural sector. The 3-month pilot was very successful in using reefer containers, trucks for containers and inland barges in order to reduce the number of trucks on the main roads in the densely populated western part of the country and the environmental pollution. We achieved a quality guarantee in delivery of 95%. A special co-operation organisation of 10 different companies has been created to run this pilot.
