European Barge Union

The European Barge Union (EBU) is a regional organization that represents the interests of companies and workers involved in inland waterway transport across Europe. It advocates for better working conditions, safety, and sustainable practices for barge operators and related industries. By coordinating policies and sharing expertise among members, the EBU aims to promote efficient, environmentally friendly, and competitive inland shipping services within Europe’s rivers, canals, and inland waterways. It serves as a collective voice to influence regulations, improve standards, and support the development of inland navigation as a vital component of the European transportation network.
