This increase above average in the number of inquiries can be traced back to the increasing significance of inland navigation and the intensified promotion campaign of via donau - among others at the common Danube stand in June 2007 in Munich for the transport logistic 07 as well as on the new website Transport development: » http://www.donauschifffahrt.info
While 2/3 of the requests came from logistics and shipping companies, the remaining inquires stemmed from training institutes, public authorities, consultants, students and private persons. The majority of the inquiries - 38 % - did come from Austria, yet the German demand was also high amounting to 30% of the total queries. The remaining requests came from 25 different countries ranging from Australia to the United States.
via donau is proud to be acknowledged as a competent contact point for logistics inquiries pertaining to the Danube but also to be perceived as a junction between users and suppliers for consulting matters where objectivity and absence of bias are core values.
