Dubbelman Container Transporten will add the barge combination Vrido I/Vrido II to its fleet from 1 January 2024. The purpose of this cooperation is to expand our Upper Rhine capacities and the number of weekly sailings. In addition, we expect to offer our customers even more flexibility and reliability with our services between mainly the seaports of Antwerp/Rotterdam and the entire Upper Rhine sailing area up to Basel-Birsfelden in Switzerland. With the owners of Vrido I/Vrido II, Kees and Marco, we meet an old acquaintance within our organisation; Marco has worked as a captain on one of our barge combinations for many years and therefore knows not only our organisation but also our DNA and corporate culture.

Managing Director Petric Dubbelman;
‘We are very pleased to enter into this cooperation with our own Dubbelman/Camaro team. It means we can further strengthen our position on the Upper Rhine and have ‘in-house’ opportunities to further expand services and reliability to and from Strasbourg, Ottmarsheim, Weil am Rhein and Basel-Birsfelden. Despite the current difficult market, we are clearly opting here for a long-term strategy where we want to offer our well-respected customers and relations the best possible performance. For them, we want, can and must be an absolute added value in the transport chain’.

We wish the crew of Vrido I/Vrido II the best of luck and a Welcome Aboard within our organisation.

Our container ship Camaro 7 also earned a ‘Green Award’ Level Silver last week.
As we mentioned earlier, the ‘Green Award’ is a recognition that shows that we carry out our transports in an environmentally friendly way.
Special thanks go to Ivan Stavorinus who worked hard to achieve this.
A good and beautiful step forward in our efforts to classify our entire fleet with a Green Award.

On Friday 30 June, during the annual event ” ESTIVALE ” in Strasbourg, France, Dubbelman Container Transporten was the first barge operator to receive an award for the development of its barge product and services; “Développement Fluvial Award“. The award was presented, in the presence of several hundred invited guests, on behalf of Port Autonome Strasbourg by Mrs. Anne-Marie Jean, president of the Port of Strasbourg.

Dubbelman Container Transporten received the award for its professional and positive contribution to the nautical possibilities and the development of the inland shipping modality. In particular, the flexibility and reliability of its services on the river Rhine to and from Strasbourg and Lauterbourg were praised.

Managing Director of Dubbelman Container Transporten, Petric Dubbelman;
The “Développement Fluvial Award” is a nice recognition that Dubbelman Container Transporten, together with it’s shipping company Camaro BV and its parent company Sogestran, is on the right (water)way. In addition, it is nice and special that we were the very first barge operator to receive the award. I hereby dedicate the award to our fantastic team, both in the office and our hard-working staff on board of our barges. They are the ones who won this award!

Dubbelman Container Transporten, shipping company Camaro and their partners are committed to environmentally friendly transport. To meet and exceed our climate goals, we continuously invest in new systems and equipment. For example, our barge combination Camaro V, Camaro VI, Camaro XI & Camaro XII recently received a ‘Green Award’ certification. A recognition that shows that we carry out the various Rhine services in an environmentally friendly way.
Environmentally friendly transport!

Dubbelman Container Transporten recently equipped its fleet with a 24/7 monitoring system for reefer business. As from today all connected reefers, sailing on barges in our fleet, are under a 24-hour inspection. Possible problems or temperature deviations are observed in our control room; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Malfunctions will be passed on directly to our customer.

With this extra service, Dubbelman Container Transporten can offer state of the art technology in reefer transportation.

Below a short presentation of the Reefer Monitoring System.

In a dynamic company with a young and fresh team, there is obviously also a house style that carries the same characteristics. This has made us decide to restyle our corporate identity and logos to a more colorful model from 01-01-2016. Of course, we like to stay “old-fashioned” in our service!

From the beginning of 2016, Dubbelman Container Transporten will expand its fleet with the ‘Camaro V / VI’. The well-thought-out technology and properties of this Barge enables us to serve our clients even better. In addition, ‘Camaro V / VI’ can be seen as a reefer specialized inland vessel with a capacity of more than 40 reefer connections per departure.

As a result, the total reefer capacity of Dubbelman Container Transports has grown to > 120 reefers per week, which is becoming more and more indispensable in the rapidly growing reefer market. Together with its existing services, Dubbelman Container Transporten expects it to be the added value for its business relations.
