On First of September 2017, two young women started their apprenticeship in the headquaters of DTG in Duisburg.

While Jana Benli will be trained as an assistant of the business management team, Denise Köbke decided to become an assistant for freight forwarding and logistics services.

Both behaved commendably during their probationary period and showed commitment to their work. They integrated well into the DTG’s family and so we like to welcome both of you officially. We whish the trainees all the best and much success!

On 26^th and 27^th of September the DTG was an exhibitor on the German-Dutch traide fair ‘Shipping-Technics-Logistics’ (STL) fot the second time. Located close to Kalkar (Germany) the DTG had it’s own booth.
It was a successful event which offered the chance for interesting talks and new contacts to shipping agents and owner-operators.
On 27^th of September 2017 the DTG had the chance to introduce the adventages of the cooperative model within the practical workshop ‘Binnenschiffahrt’.
Both, exhibitors and customers, appreciated DTG’s booth. On two days, several members of staff informed interested visitors and answered their questions.

Our ship has been on TV! The german TV channel WDR broadcasted a visit from journalist Robert who has been with us on MS Schönrein. In the news magazine for kids and yound adults called ‚neuneinhalb’ (nine and a half) Robert told his young audience about his experinces with the Schäfer-Family. For two days he lived with them to lean more about the work of a bargeman from cabin to command center to engine room.

Our MS Schönrein is a ship for floating cargo, which transports 55 HGV-cargos and passes the whole european waterways system. For the familiy concern environmental protection is very importtant. You can also spend your holidays in the ship’s own guest apartment.

The first of March marks the twenty-fifth year with DTG DEUTSCHE TRANSPORT-GENOSSENSCHAFT
BINNENSCHIFFFAHRT eG for Rita Hammer (branch Hamburg). Born in Hamburg she followed a career as an office junior at Margarine-Werken Elbgau-Rostock. Due to work for Max Sötje Tankschiffahrt Hamburg und die Oeltrans Befrachtungsgesellschaft she finally found her path in shipping. Thereafter, on first of March 1992, she was hired by TGB and later by DTG.

Gert Werlich already celebrated his thirty year with the DTG on first of April. After a carrer as a sailor, a helmsman and a skipper for Reederei Lehnkering, he decided to complete an apprenticeship as logistics manager between 1983 and 1986. Shortly after that he found work as an managing clerk for Elbia-Eilfracht Braunschweig, sine 1991 he is working in the branch Minden and since 2003 he is an authorized agent.

Happy anniversary to both of them and keep up the good work for many yeras to come!

The Ruhrort traditional company Deutsche Transport-Genossenschaft Binnenschifffahrt eG dedicates itself to Ruhrort.

Mr. Spranzi, member of the Executive Board of DTG: “When the idea came up to purchase a defibrillator for our company I thought it might be a good idea to pass on its benefits to people from our neighbourhood.

Our DTG team is committed not only to inland navigation but also to our location in Ruhrort. The people living here have true hearts of gold. Yet, in cases of emergency in our immediate vicinity, we had the problem of a missing infrastructure: neither the school nor the kindergardens or retirement homes are supplied with a defibrillator although time is a critical survival factor after a heart attack.”

Also the Managing Director of mekontor GmbH & Co. KG, Mr. Schmitz, is aware of this problem. If first aid is given immediately after a heart attack and first-aiders start reanimation parallel to the use of a defibrillator, survival chances for emergency patients rise considerably with even shorter recovery times. With every single minute passing without help, survival chances following a heart attack drop by approximately 10-12%.

Even though the fire station in Homberg is not far away, the nearest ambulance might be off to another emergency and teams from remote rescue centres might not be able to arrive within eight to ten minutes. Therefore, a supply of defibrillators will definitely help adding heart security to Ruhrort.

Location:
Fürst-Bismarck-Str. 21, 47119 Duisburg
Opening hours:
Mon-Fri 08:00-17:00 (excluding public holidays)

Simply combine your company’s core product – inland navigation with a fleet of more than 100 inland vessels – with new components like forwarding, truck transport, coastal shipping, warehousing and transshipment, thus mastering complex logistics chains and offering your customers a one-stop solution.

This is one goal of our interest in EWT Schiffahrtsgesellschaft mbH, Duisburg.

With their headquarters in Duisburg, EWT Schifffahrtsgesellschaft mbH have been providing reliable and efficient logistics since their foundation in 1951, covering the entire supply chain with modern technical equipment.

“If you keep looking into the rear-view mirror during your life’s journey, don’t be surprised to hit the wall.”

That’s why we’ll just give a cursory glance back and rather give our thanks to all our business partners, our members and employees of the DTG and the ARNO-Ship teams for the trust you’ve placed in us, as well as for the cooperative relationship and your commitment during the past year.

Let us all look ahead now, take on the challenges of the New Year and meet them together in a fair way.

Our aim is to remain your reliable partner in 2017.

After more than 37 years of service for the TGB and the DTG in Andernach, Gaby Kleemann has left our ship. On the occasion of her official adoption on 9 December 2016, she convinced us in saying that she would do so with mixed feelings.

Thus, the good, fair and collegial cooperation with our customers, our members and her colleagues of the DTG ended on 16 December 2016.

From now on, Gaby will focus on her little granddaughter Hannah and her husband Günter. She will also be more concerned about her hobby, tennis, and will have time to watch biathlon competitions and matches from an unspecified football league.

Supervisory and Executive Board and all our employees wish Gaby healthiness, good luck and all the very best for the future.

On 27 and 28 September 2016, DTG attended the German-Dutch Shipping-Technics-Logistics (STL) trade fair as exhibitor for the first time in Kalkar, Lower Rhine. During this successful trade fair, many interesting conversations were held, offering DTG unique opportunities to make new contacts with shippers and barge owners.

Also, the DTG stand was well received both by customers and exhibitors. Apart from DTG’s CEO Roberto Spranzi, three staff members from the scheduling department were present in teams of two on each day.

On 1 September 2016, Mr. Tobias Stuckenschneider started working for our Hamburg branch.

The 32-year-old transport specialist, who was born in Hamburg, completed both his high school graduation and his training as a forwarding and logistics services agent. He is a professional who has spent his previous professional life within the field of inland waterway transport.

We are looking forward to working with Tobias Stuckenschneider and we are confident that he will use his extensive knowledge to the benefit of our customers and members.
