Gothenburg - Ghent
Your cargo in good hands
With recent investments in two of the largest RoRo vessels in Europe and extended terminal infrastructure, our Gothenburg-Belgium routes provide fast and efficient connections on the Nordics-Western Europe corridor.
Barges
An efficient alternative to road transport, we offer barge service for container units carrying dry, cold or hazardous cargo between Ghent and Antwerp and Ghent and Rotterdam.
Our barges provide a quick and sustainable way to move containers arriving from overseas between these port locations - ensuring your cargo is positioned exactly where you need it, when you need it.

On this route, we offer limited space for passengers, under the following conditions:
- Children under 14 years not accepted due to safety regulations
