Technology :

“ Learning in a practical - operational situation ” is what constitutes the DNA

of the Dutch FFC 4 . By combining a modular electric vessel design that

reimagines push - barge use with digital optimization tools inland

transportation shall evolve into a “ bus - type ” service .

Information :

FFC 4 looked at two promising freight flows of cocoa beans in the

Zaandam area and household waste between Heerenveen and

Harlingen , both using the unique concept of the Electric KOTUG E - Pusher .

Due to a lack of a suitable transshipment location in Vlaardingen , capex

costs being too high , and delay in the permitting process for the quay in

Heerenveen , this freight flow has been parked till further notice .

Nevertheless , the E - Pusher concept can be proven along the River Zaan

shuttling cocoa beans from import storage at Amsterdam to the

processing site at Wormer .
