Development of a concept that utilises the technical capabilities of modern inland waterway vessels to reduce the need for water space in the port in favour of new logistics space on land. Use of the Port of Duisburg as a hub for the Ruhr region, with potential stop-offs at other ports (e.g. Essen and Dortmund).
