Vessel Description

EN AVANT 7 is a Dutch-flagged inland pusher tug built in 1977, operating within the European inland waterway network. The "EN AVANT" series of vessels are well-known pusher tugs historically associated with inland barge convoy operations on the Rhine-Scheldt waterway system.

As a pusher tug, the vessel is specifically designed to push large cargo barges (convoys) rather than tow them, a common configuration in European inland river and canal logistics. This method allows for efficient movement of bulk cargo in pushed barge train configurations common across the Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt river systems.

The vessel operates under Netherlands registry and is subject to CCNR (Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine) regulations governing inland waterway vessels in Europe.
