WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

There are no competitors, conflicting interests or different agendas at the NPRC. We are all in this together. Partnership is the operative word at our cooperative. That goes for the barge captains, logistics experts and customers. It is about forging long-term relationships based on quality of work and all-round reliability. Just get in touch with us and find out yourself what we can do for you.

OUR OFFICES

WE SET THE GOALS; OUR PEOPLE ACHIEVE THEM

Companies are not on standby 24/7, our people are. They answer the telephone, check bills of lading and sort out customs formalities. Companies make plans. People turn them into reality. The NPRC is a proud cooperative of passionate, independent barge owners – supported by a team of logistics experts. Together, they get the job done. Flexible by nature, naturally driven.

VISION

Inland waterway entrepreneurs who work together achieve the highest value and realise the best conditions for continuity and a stable revenue development.

MISSION

NPRC takes on a pioneering role in the European inland waterway shipping. We lead the developments in digitalisation, sustainability and the integration of supply chains of the European industry.

GOING ALL THE WAY -ALL OVER EUROPE

Since 1935 the NPRC’s ability to get things moving knows no boundaries. Every day, a minimum of 200 barges operating under the direction of the NPRC are underway somewhere in Europe. In actual fact, the NPRC is the biggest cooperative active in European inland-waterway shipping. Each year, our organisation transports 13 million metric tonnes of cargo using the continent’s extensive network of rivers and canals. From Antwerp to Marseille, and from Rotterdam to Budapest.
