Logistic Innovation: Crane Barge Mercurius Amsterdam

Since 2006, with the crane ship ‘Mercurius-Amsterdam', Mercurius offers innovative logistical services by water, by collecting and distributing containers in a region with its own crane.

The increase in the supply and removal of containers means increasing road congestions, with the predictable negative results, such as inconvenience, unreliable delivery times, stagnation of production processes and an increase in CO2 emissions. The Mercurius Shipping Group shows that inland shipping has advantages also for short distances, in and around seaports. In 2009 a second crane ship will be launched, somewhat larger than the Mercurius-Amsterdam.
