history
Contargo was founded in 2004 and bundled the activities of several companies in the field of container hinterland logistics , some of which had been active since 1976 in the combined transport of inland waterways - trucks and the operation of container terminals .
From 2004 Contargo took a stake in the NeCoSS rail operator and thus entered into the transport of containers by rail . In 2011, Contargo took over the Pöhland Group with six branches. After the takeover of the inland shipping companies Rhinecontainer BV and Transbox BV in 2012 , they will be integrated into Contargo BV . The new shipping company operates under the name Contargo Waterway Logistics. The Contargo subsidiary Transbox and United Container Transport started their joint venture Transbox United BVBA in October 2014, based in Antwerp . In May 2015, Contargo received the “Eco Performance Award” from DKV. In May 2019, the company, together with the Dutch truck manufacturer DAF, was awarded the “Green Truck Logistic Solution 2019” environmental prize for the field test with electric trucks.
