Road, rail and sea Intermodal bulk logistics

Road, rail and sea. Or a combination of all three. Van den Bosch has put itself on the map as a leading player in intermodal bulk logistics. Together with partners in Europe, Africa and beyond we are developing smart intermodal solutions. By pooling our knowledge, we’re proving that bulk logistics is not only about quantity, but increasingly about quality.

Every day we take care of global supply chain activities for customers in the food and chemicals industries. Road, water and rail modalities are combined in the most optimal way to transport various liquid and dry bulk products to their designated destinations. We look beyond our own capacity and make full use of the strength of our network. For example, we offer you effective forwarding solutions with our matching platform Bulkio, which also saves on empty kilometres.

Rail

Rail has grown into a popular mode of transport. That especially goes for the European market, where the rail network has expanded rapidly, connecting all major ports and cities. If you choose rail transport, you’re opting for a reliable, cost-effective and sustainable transport solution.

Sea

By shipping your bulk products in tank or silo containers, you’ve chosen a reliable and sustainable mode of transport. Whether it’s by short sea, deep sea or inland shipping, Van den Bosch has the knowhow and capacity to ship your bulk products to the right location – all the way from the loading point to the final destination.

Deep sea

As a global tank operator, we offer you competitive deep sea solutions. We ship your liquid bulk in ISO tank containers to destinations worldwide. In the EMEA region we are even the market leader in shipping foodstuffs, but we are also developing a strong presence in other growth markets.

Road

Road transport will always remain an essential element of the supply chain. Every day, our experienced drivers and local transport partners ensure your products are delivered to their designated destinations across Europe, Africa and beyond. But road transport can be smarter. And greener, too.

Sustainable transition

Over the past decade, Van den Bosch has already initiated a sustainable transition. As much as 95% of our transports are now conducted intermodal. Thanks to this modal shift, we increase payload, reduce the number of shipments and work with our customers and partners on CO2 reduction within the supply chain.
