Euro-Rijn Logistics Becomes Owner of Oorburg Intermodaal and AquaRoad Logistics

Next Step in the Partnership
Euro-Rijn Logistics has held a majority stake in Oorburg Intermodaal and AquaRoad Logistics since 2022. The full acquisition marks the completion of a development process during which the organisations have worked increasingly closely together over the past few years. 

Vleming Geerligs, General Manager of Euro-Rijn Logistics, sees the acquisition as a logical next step: "Over the past period, we have worked closely together on the further integration of our inland shipping activities. By fully bringing Oorburg and AquaRoad into Euro-Rijn, we are continuing that development. By combining our expertise, fleet capacity and commercial networks, we are strengthening and expanding our European network. This creates a strong foundation for attracting additional add-on acquisitions and for further professionalising the services we provide to our customers."

For John Oorburg, now Shipping Director at Euro-Rijn Logistics and responsible for all three inland shipping companies, the acquisition marks an important milestone in the development of both businesses: "For Oorburg and AquaRoad, this represents a new phase within Euro-Rijn. Over the past few years, we have already experienced the benefits of working together. By bringing our knowledge and activities together even more closely, new opportunities arise to further develop our services and provide even better support to customers and partners. At the same time, the personal approach and short lines of communication that characterise our organisations will remain unchanged." 

Strengthening Our Position in Inland Shipping
The full integration of Oorburg Intermodaal and AquaRoad Logistics follows earlier investments by Euro-Rijn Logistics in the inland shipping sector. The group previously acquired Danser Group and also obtained a stake in YST Logistics. As a result, Euro-Rijn Logistics has further strengthened its position within the inland shipping market in recent years.
