Working in inland shipping
Inland shipping is crucial as a transport highway for cargo in modern day Europe. The ships used for this a specially designed to transport goods up and down rivers and are called barges or inland vessels. There is a wide variety of inland barges, all tailored to a specific type of good or purpose. A regular inland barge can transport the equivalent of 140 Truckloads, where the larger combinations of (push)barges can go up to 660 truckloads!

Sub-industries in inland shipping
In inland waterway transport we list vacancies for several subcategories:
Inland waterway transport: this is the largest category, encompassing both modern and brand-new tanker ships, as well as smaller river barges transporting dry cargo. Positions typically follow a 1/1 rotation schedule with shifts ranging from one week to four weeks. For this we list the typical ranks like Matroos, Skipper and Captain.
Inland river cruises: the cruise market on rivers like the Danube and Rhine is expanding, driving up demand for workers. In addition to traditional navigational positions, these ships also hire for hospitality roles such as maids, cooks, waitresses, and bartenders. This industry is heavily influenced by seasonality as many ships only sail in the holiday season.
Other inland shipping positions: In addition to these transport of goods and passengers positions, we also occasionally offer jobs in ports and harbours where inland shipping positions are more supportive. These roles may include inspection, safety, or general assistance in porting barges. These positions often offer a more “normal” work-life rhythm.
