ELV

The European Logistic Transport Co-operation is a partnership of Belgian, Dutch, French and German barge owners.

In addition to all advantages of waterway shipping, ELV offers a complete logistic package of services, including door-to-door transport through the whole of Europe. If so desired, we take care of planning, chartering, combined transport, pre- and post-shipping, handling and storage, distribution, customs formalities, insurance,...

The structure of our organization, our contacts as well as our experience, enable us to offer a flexible, economic and safe service.

Our ships transport a wide variety of cargoes, both bulk goods, packed goods and general cargo.

The only operator with a disposition of almost a hundred own vessels with a cargo capacity of 350 to 950 tons, ELV can serve even the capillaries of the European waterway network. That's why we can offer 'tailor-made' transport as well as transportation guarantees. We're specialized in transports to and from France.

Our organization is based on highly committed entrepreneurs with a wide practical experience. These qualities are also put into action on behalf of the promotion of 'small barges' and innovation. In this way, our organization can guarantee both shippers and skippers stability and continuity.
