The roots of our activities as a cooperative in Berlin go right back to the year 1898. After pulling out of the capital around 11 years ago, now is the right time for our return.
From 1 November 2020 the DTG will be present in Berlin once more.

Jan Bergemann has joined us, an expert in the area of inland waterways. For many years he has played an active role in the development of inland water transport and waterway logistics in the Berlin area and surrounding states. His expertise will help drive forward the continuing positive development of the DTG.

With this organisational realignment, we are sure that we have made an important step for the future.
Jan Bergemann will head up our new office from 2 November 2020. The address is:

DTG Deutsche Transport-Genossenschaft Binnenschifffahrt eG
Westhafenstraße 1
Verwaltungsgebäude
Bereich F
13353 Berlin

The operational potential of the inland waterway system often remains hidden for many companies and freight forwarders, especially when it comes to the transport of items with large volumes and weights.

With enough advanced notice, delivery dates can be met with complete reliability. If needed, a barge with the right crew can be operational 24/7. There are virtually no restrictions on dimensions or weights.

For the future, it is necessary to integrate barges into the transport chain as a reliable means of transport. This will help the environment and relieve pressure on the road system.

We are also happy that we can support younger people in 2020.

As of 01.08.2020 we have taken on Lasse Küpper as a trainee for transport and logistics.

Lasse Küpper will start by working in our transport planning department in Duisburg. In the course of his time as a trainee, he will also gain experience in other departments and in our subsidiaries.

Our former trainee Jana Benli has completed her formal qualification in office management and passed her final examination with flying colours!

We are pleased to announce that we have given her a permanent position in our accounting department, so from now on she is no longer a trainee. She has deserved this not just because she passed her exam, but also because she is a great person who fitted into our team very well during her time as a trainee.

We look forward to working well together in the future.

We would like to take you into the New Year with this quotation and the reminder that only humans  have the  possibility to do  so  many  noble  things: to  question our actions  in a responsible manner; to correct wrongdoing; to show compassion; to not selfishly exploit weakness, but to utilize our strengths for the benefit of others.

The whole DTG-Team and our colleagues from ARNO-Ship would like to thank you for your support and cooperation in the past year. We wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas and look forward to continuing our relationship as fair partners in 2020.

As in previous years, we are once again supporting two charitable organisations this year, instead of sending out presents. The volunteers of the Hamburger Spendenparlament help to distribute charitable donations fairly to a number of charities. The Bunter Kreis Duisburg e.V. helps to provide care and support to seriously ill children and their families.

As part of the planned closure of the TGB, we are closing our branch office in Andernach as of 31.12.2019.

Oliver Keip will continue working for the DTG.
His new telephone number is: +49 2 03 | 8 00 04-25
His mobile number, his fax number and his email address will remain the same.

Marion Marino is going into well-deserved retirement. We would like to express our thanks for her twenty-plus years of service and wish her all the best for the future.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Monika Gruchala (39) as a full-time member of our accounts department as of 04.11.2019. She will look after all the office tasks involved with our accounts department and will also be responsible for supporting our members.

Monika Gruchala can be reached under:

We look forward to working well together.

With effect from 01.07.2019, Tobias Engels has been granted the authority to represent our company in legal transactions.

Tobias Engels, who is 38 years old, started as a trainee at the then Haniel Reederei GmbH in Duisburg from 1998 to 2001. After leaving the successor company, he has proved himself as a dispatcher and customer service representative, earning an excellent reputation in the industry.

For the last five years, he has been responsible for the DTG office in Andernach. In this role, he looks after our members south of Cologne and our business in southern Germany.

With this appointment we would like to thank Tobias Engels for his dedication to the company.

Once again DTG was able to present itself at the 17^th international trade show for logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management. At this year’s show there were over 2,000 exhibitors and more than 60,000 people attending.

For DTG the trade show was a resounding success.

As in previous years, we were able to present ourselves as a co-exhibitor on the exhibition stand of duisport. EWT was also represented on the stand. Through the high volume of     visitors to the stand, we were able to meet with over 70 customers and speak with many other people interested in our services. The conversations covered wide-ranging topics, with many of them providing exciting potential for the future.

We are already looking forward to participating in the next transport logistic trade show, which takes place from 4^th to 7^th May 2021.
