Series drive
The series journey , historically also Bört or Beurtfahrt as well as Rangschiffahrt, was a regulated form of inland navigation that was first developed in the Netherlands .
Series travel refers to the serial processing of transport orders, mostly by boatmen and so-called boatmen's guilds, often in times of poor order books. The series journey, which prevents the free competition of skippers, should distribute freight orders evenly. It is therefore a measure of market regulation . It was applied from 1700 on the Elbe and Havel between Hamburg and Berlin and in the 19th century on the Stecknitz Canal between the Elbe and Trave .
The series journey also existed in maritime transport ( conference (shipping) ), in land freight and later also in cab traffic , although these were also banned by the police. Often the series journey was accompanied by the compulsion to become a member of the locally responsible boatmen's or wagoners' cooperative , which had exclusive authoritative rights ( privileges ) for this form of transport.
