Picanol opts for inland shipping for the Ypres-Antwerp route

As a result, more than 600,000 kilometers on the road can be saved annually and 612 tons of CO2, the company reports.

Today, Picanol’s export goods still travel in containers from the production site in Ypres by truck to the port of Antwerp or Zeebrugge to be shipped worldwide from there. In February, Picanol carried out two tests. The empty containers are collected from the depot in Wielsbeke and then loaded in Ypres. The full export containers are then taken from Ypres to the River Terminal Wielsbeke to sail to the port of Antwerp by barge.
