MPL stands for efficient and sustainable transport solutions, by tailored container transport. In 2015, we pioneered an inland hub concept, connecting River Terminal Wielsbeke (RTW) with the Port of Antwerp, for one of our major customers, allowing them to reduce their reliance on trucking by enabling transportation via the waterway and to transport in a more sustainable way.

For an equal number of containers, total CO2 emissions per barge (34gCO2/tonne-km) trip are significantly lower than for trucks (62gCO2/tonne-km). Previously, all containers went by road; today, more than 50% of the stream is transported via barge. As a result, the company’s container-related emissions dropped by 36% within just two years. Increasing our use of multimodal transport is not just efficient, but also better for the environment. his approach aligns with global sustainability goals and reflects our dedication to reducing the carbon footprint of flooring transportation worldwide.
