Our fleet

Our fleet consists of a large number of barges and coasters which is continuously expanding. There are currently 21 inland barges and 4 seagoing vessels sailing under Volharding’s flag.

TONNAGES

Our transportation tonnages vary from 800 dwt to 4431 dwt. In 2024, three more inland barges, that can each transport approximately 3000 dwt, will be added to our fleet.

Fleet list

The majority of our fleet comes from our acquisition of Koole Terminals in July 2022. That was also the foundation of Volharding, as part of the Volharding Group. The crews stayed the same after the acquisition, and therefore they have a lot of experience with these barges and coasters, and expertise of the products being transported.

Compliance and certification

Volharding has all the requisite certificates for loading, unloading and compliance.

Here is a summary of our certification:
  • ISO 9001: 2015 

  • ISO 14001: 2015

We carry out every project in compliance with the latest legislation and safety requirements. For more information about compliance, please contact us via the QHSSE department at - qhsse@volhardinggroup.com.
