Why focus on Inland Waterway Transport?

Inland waterway transport (IWT) is a reliable, climate-friendly and the least expencive transport alternatives for all types of commodities.
The energy input tonnes per kilometer (t/km) is superior to rail and road transport.

Inland Waterway Transport in Africa

Africa is endowed with a number of rivers and lakes that have great potential of being inexpensive, energy-efficient and environment-friendly inland waterways.
Africa Strong Boat will lead the industry to open new waterways and create and build locally tailor-made canoes, boats, ferries, barges and solutions that meet the needs of IWT in Africa.

Services

ASB can offer a wide range of services in the engineering, infrastructure, projects, education and operations sectors.
Our primary focus is maximising the potential of IWT, but we are equally comfortable in supplying tailor-made seagoing vessels.
It is our belief that the equipment alone is never enough. In order to succeed, a team is required to make sure that the whole system works together and that the equipment is operating within an eco-system where there is training, support, maintenance, planning and management throughout the life cycle.
ASB has a global team of professional consultants in various fields that can be called on depending on the project requirements.
No matter what you are trying to achieve, if it is in Africa and maritime related, we are interested

ASB is the OXE diesel outboard engine distributor in East Africa

OXE is the worlds first high-performance diesel outboard setting new standards for durability, fuel efficiency and low emission for an outboard engine.
OXE diesel outboard keywords are: Reliability, Power and Control
The OXE Diesel outboard fulfils NATO "single-fuel" directive and is an ideal solution for naval, military, rescue and commercial applications..
OXE engines have got up to 45 % less fuel consumption than an equivalent petrol outboard.
The OXE diesel engine is designed to last. Longer service intervals mean lower maintenance costs and longer operation times.

Modular Barge System (MBS)

ASB together with our partners Rhino Marine & Wale Marine (https://www.rhinomarineboats.com) has developed a Modular Barge System (MBS) based on environmentally friendly High-Density Polyethlene (HDPE) that we are about to start making at our workshop outside Juba, South Sudan.
HDPE is a recyclable material and it is almost indestructible. It has great buoyancy property meaning it can carry heavy loads.
This clever modular barge system allows us to assemble them anywhere near a river, lake, or ocean where you have road access for containers.
It workes like a 'blank canvas' and it is up to the clients how they want it designed according to there use.
