WHAT WE DO
Transportation of vegoils, mineral oils and CPP
We use our knowledge and experience to help companies transport edible oils and all the products derived from them. We do this for the food and feed sector. Additionally, we also transport mineral oils, clean petroleum products (CPP) and various biofuels. In other words, our transport spectrum is very wide and we can handle any logistical challenge.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Flexibility, safety and results
Our customers can always count on a personal approach and they benefit from our company’s expertise. Our highly experienced crews make sure that every transport is carried out safely and in full compliance with the latest requirements.
We are flexible, hands-on, creative, fast and focused on getting results that are in line with our customers’ requests. Our tonnages range from small to large. We always find a transport solution, even if there are tough time constraints.
INLAND AND MARINE NAVIGATION
A unique combination.
A unique aspect of Volharding Group is the combination of seagoing vessels and inland barges, which are largely owned by Volharding Group or sail under our flag.
We have various inland barges and coasters that sail with dedicated and very experienced crews who are fully aware of all the safety rules and regulations.
GROWTH
Future plans
Since our official start, we have grown by more than 300 per cent. Customers know where to find us and are more than satisfied with our performance. We transport a wide range of products – everything from food and feed sector products to mineral oils at high volumes.
We invest continuously in our fleet and several vessels will be added to our fleet in 2024 for transporting edible oils, fats and mineral products. This will grow both our marine and inland shipping. This is how we can meet the need for transportation of larger volumes of various products.
