ABC of Naval Inland Navigation

Activity

The service we provide is:

Bunkering of sea-going vessels in the FARAG zone.

Transportation of mineral oils and fuel oils from or to refineries or depots. 

Transportation of dry bulk and containers to terminals and depots.

Assisting the barge owners in managing their barges.

As broker, we negotiate with charter parties to transport oil products over the Western European waterways, using NAVAL’s double hulled fleet. Negotiating long term contracts is also part of our core business. Moreover we offer bunker barges with activities in Flushing, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and the Port of Bruges. We are ambitious and entrepreneurial. We focus on the clients (being barge owners or oil majors) and on safety and quality, which we translate under the term NAutic VALue (NAVAL).
