Galloo has invested in its own push barge, a type of cargo vessel pushed by a boat. The vessel will be used to transport both raw and finished materials, mainly between the Menen and Ghent branches. "We intend to use it to transport some 100,000 tonnes on an annual basis, the equivalent of 4,000 trucks," reports managing director Pierre Vandeputte. "The push barge was christened as 'Galloo I' and should become the first of our own fleet."
