"Paving the future of Rhine’s barging with unparalleled sustainability."
In 2022, Plouvier Group transitioned from a chartering and a commissioner to a fully integrated owner-operator. This strategic move enables us to shape the future of inland transport on the Rhine with a modern fleet averaging less than 10 years in age and a commitment to continuous investment in young tonnage and the latest technology.
Sustainability, safety, and excellence are at the core of our operations. We uphold the highest standards of professionalism, leadership, and integrity, ensuring reliability and efficiency for our customers. Above all, we recognize that our greatest asset is our people. Through dedicated training and development, we equip our teams with unparalleled expertise, encouraging a culture of ownership, vigilance, and respect.
By embracing innovation and environmental responsibility, we are not just navigating the Rhine — We are paving the future of sustainable inland transport.

The Plouvier Group, a key player in inland tanker shipping, specializes in the transport of clean petroleum products and light chemicals across the entire European waterway network through Plouvier Chartering NV and Intertrans Tankschiffahrt AG, based in Birsfelden. Additionally, RP Tankschiffahrt AG complements the group’s activities, further strengthening its presence and expertise in the inland tanker shipping sector.
All our assignments are carried out under a quality system in which reliability, experience, attention to safety & environment together with a future oriented vision are of high importance.
As such, all procedures & instructions contained in the quality manual and captain’s manual under ISO 9001 – 2015 are aimed at providing our customers with the best possible service through these objectives and through continuous improvements.

Plouvier operates a fleet of state-of-the-art vessels, offering cutting-edge equipment and optimal working conditions for its teams. We primarily sail on the Rhine and provide professional support through experienced management and technical teams. Our motto, “ONE TEAM, ONE ENERGY” reflects our values of solidarity, dynamism, and collaboration.
