Marta is Bargelink’s mascot. And she is our symbol for ‘cargo’. This is how the story of the ‘steel tomato’ came about: we were looking for a clear symbol for cargo that would encompass all possible types of goods. Freight transport and trade are often symbolised by containers, aren’t they? Or barrels, crates or mountains of coal. But we found all of that a bit too one-sided. So we looked for something different. And that’s how we came up with tomatoes. They have positive connotations all over the world. And to make a tomato look a bit… more impressive, we turned it into a massive “steel tomato”.

Yes, simply tick the box “Loading date is flexible” (to the right of “Loading on/from”) in the form for load offers. This information is then displayed in the overview list with all loads.

Yes, users with a premium account can copy previously offered cargoes and ships. To do this, simply open the old offer and click on “Copy offer”. You can then update the following data in the new window: Loading on/off, loading from, visible from/to, quantity and the other information.

No. No matter whether you offer a ship or a cargo at Bargelink: You decide if, when and with whom you conclude a transport contract. And if you do, it is done outside our platform and bi-directionally with your partner. So the business secret remains intact.

Offers at Bargelink are perceived much better if the provider has enriched his company profile with a logo and photos. Logos are then displayed for each ship and each cargo – in the overview list and in the detail window. A photo of the team or the ship, for example, can also be shown there. The placeholder image of MS Marta is then automatically exchanged for the uploaded image!

A premium account is required for this. Company logos and photos can be uploaded in the “Company profile” (Account menu). To do this, click on “Browse (select file)” and select the file with the logo. If the correct logo is displayed, then just click on “Update”. Photos are uploaded in the same way.
