We are active in a specialized and challenging transport market. Standing still is not an option for us. Renewal and innovation have been the common thread throughout our history and this characterizes us up to this day. In the 1960’s, Chemgas became the first company to transport liquefied gases (LPG) over inland waters. The company effectively capitalised on the fast-pacing developments of the petrochemical industry at the time. From being a pioneer, Chemgas developed to being the most important provider of liquefied gas transportation on the European inland waterways. With its unique sea/river-going fleet, Chemgas since 1985 expanded its trading area towards sea.
In 1995, Chemgas commissioned the first lightweight ships. This pioneering role continued with the company’s close involvement in the development and use of the first collision-proof ship constructions for inland shipping. Chemgas continued to take the lead in transporting gas over water.
