Frequently asked questions

Does Bargelink take commission on my deals?
No. Bargelink only charges for the subscription. There are no other costs.
What role does Bargelink play in inland shipping?
Bargelink is a neutral marketplace. We give all parties a digital space where supply and demand for dry cargo transport come together.
Can others see that my vessel is empty?
For every offer (vessel or cargo), the person posting it decides who may see it.
Does this replace my charterer?
Bargelink is not a chartering office, and charterers will always be important partners in inland shipping. What Bargelink does provide is a very broad view of the market.
What does it cost, and what are the contract terms?
Subscription prices depend on several factors and the options you choose. Click here for all modules and prices
