Liege Port Authority welcomes a major step forward in sustainable and multimodal logistics

Liege POrt Authority welcomes Liege Airport's initiative to further decarbonise its logistics activities by increasing the use of river transport for kerosene shipments.

This project, carried out in partnership with Gilops Group S.A., a member of the Uhoda group and concessionaire of the Autonomous Port of Liège, is a key player in the Wandre port area, one of the 33 areas managed by tLiege POrt Authority. It perfectly illustrates the port's strategic role in efficient and sustainable multimodal logistics chains.

Transporting fuel by barge via the Port of Liège instead of by lorry means:

drastically reducing road traffic and CO₂ emissions
enhancing the value of Liège's port infrastructure and that of local businesses
demonstrating the complementarity of river, road and air transport.
With an estimated 82% reduction in the number of kilometres travelled by lorry, this initiative confirms that waterways are a solution for the future of multimodal logistics.

Liege POrt Authority congratulates Liege Airport for its multimodal vision and Gilops Group for its commitment and central role in this project, which is shaping the future of the Liège region.
