Push barges for your bulk cargo

The smart storage in the seaport

Floating Storage


Providing smart logistics means being on top of the game. It’s about removing unnecessary and premature freight miles by balancing conventional storage and (floating) storage, transshipment, and transport over water.

Shipping with any of the 100 vessels inland only when needed, storing or warehousing when most efficient, and always keeping the overview. Our experience reaches from breakbulk to wood pulp (cellulose), aluminum to sugar.

Interrijn ARA Bulk’s Floating Storage is the solution for smart storage and stock management in or near a seaport. With a fleet of 40+ push barges, we offer the most economic storage solution in ports such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Flushing (NL), Antwerp, and Ghent (BE), with ‘board to board’ transshipment, lowering cost from the moment of mooring in Europe.

Advantages of Floating Storage in the (sea) port:

  • Flexibility;
  • Decreasing (transshipment) costs;
  • Geographically independent;
  • Possibilities in combination transport/storage;
  • Inventory management;
  • Just in time delivery;
  • Less pressure on permits.

Inland Shipping


We are Rotterdam-based, so by nature, we don’t like bragging about our accomplishments. Yes, we are experienced (founded in 1971) and yes we can take on almost any type of cargo, but we prefer not to boast about it.

Just ask any of our loyal customers, in automotive or bulk load, from skippers to shippers for an opinion of their experience with us.

We have expertise in the transport of all sorts of cargo. From cranes to Apache helicopters and from Bulk cargo (like wood pulp/cellulose, grains, aluminum) to the transportation of a hundred trucks in one go or many hundreds of cars every single week.

Our job is easy: we take your logistical challenges and convert them into smart, green, and reliable solutions on the European waterways. It’s what we do.
