FREIGHT SHIPPING IN SHALLOW WATERS

Inland Cargo Vessels

In regions where commercial centers are widely dispersed, the transport of goods by waterways is of immense importance. The ability to provide customers with a cost-effective and reliable service is crucial for logistics companies. Currents, shallow draught, sediments, silting and pollution have a major impact on the design and operation of vessels, especially on their propulsion systems.

Powerful, robust azimuth propulsion systems with special shallow water nozzles enable inland cargo vessels to operate efficiently with maximum manoeuvrability. SCHOTTEL Automation Systems and Marine Services can be used to exploit the further potential of individual vessels or even an entire fleet.
