Direct barge service at Vollers: optimization of cocoa logistics in Hamburg

Vollers is setting a new standard in cocoa logistics with the introduction of a direct barge service at our Hamburg terminal. Thanks to the new crane system from Deufol, with whom we have a close partnership, we can now unload containers and bulk ships directly at our terminal. This innovation offers you significant advantages in logistics processing.

Advantages of the barge service

The introduction of the direct barge service brings significant advantages:

  • Direct unloading: Containers and bulk vessels are now unloaded directly at our terminal without any detours. This eliminates the need for additional transfers and thus reduces complexity and risk.
  • Reduced transportation routes: The elimination of additional transportation routes reduces logistics costs and increases efficiency.
  • Time savings: Fast, direct unloading saves valuable time, which means your goods are available more quickly and you can optimize your supply chain.
  • Environmental protection and CO₂ savings: By using the waterway and barges to transport containers, road traffic in Hamburg is relieved, which simultaneously leads to a reduction in CO₂ emissions and lowers the environmental impact.

Comprehensive logistics services

In addition to the direct barge service, we continue to offer you comprehensive logistics solutions for cocoa:

  • Import and export handling
