Contargo GmbH & Co. KG is an internationally active logistics service provider performing trimodal transport between the seaports and the European hinterland and providing all auxiliary services, such as empty container depots and repairs. Contargo transports approximately 2,3 million TEU annually in its network (25 terminals, four inland shipping lines and several rail lines) along the Rhine and its main tributaries up to Switzerland.

History

Contargo was founded in 2004, bundling the activities of various enterprises in container hinterland logistics, some of which had been active since1976 in combined transport by barge and truck and the operation of container terminals.

Services

Heavy load transports and special transports[7]

Environment

The Terminals in Ludwigshafen (Contargo Rhein-Neckar GmbH) and Frankfurt (Contargo Industriepark Frankfurt-Höchst GmbH) are equipped for the interim storage of dangerous goods containers. In Basel, in-transit storage is possible for several days.

Contargo has developed its own free Tariff Information System (IMTIS) which calculates routes and transport prices in combined transport modes, compares different possible routes and gives the CO2 consumption for each option.

In 2014 the Contargo Group produced its first Sustainability Report.

In May 2015 Contargo received the Eco Performance Award. The enterprise particularly impressed the jury of experts by its tariff calculator IMTIS and its economically, ecologically and socially credible sustainability concept. The Eco Performance Award is conferred by DKV Euro Service as an independent seal of quality.
