At HRK, growth is driven by strategic investments that strengthen our operational capabilities across key regions.

As part of our continued expansion in Venezuela, HRK has acquired two key river assets: the barge Itza and the tugboat Marqués de Carabás, reinforcing our inland logistics infrastructure and regional operational capacity.

Integrated river logistics assets

In river transportation systems, barges and tugboats operate as a combined unit. The barge is responsible for carrying bulk cargo, while the tugboat provides propulsion, control, and maneuverability along inland waterways.

With the acquisition of Itza and Marqués de Carabás, HRK strengthens its ability to manage river-based logistics operations with greater efficiency, reliability, and operational control.

These assets enable HRK to:

  • Transport bulk cargo through inland river routes
  • Improve logistical efficiency for industrial and commercial operations
  • Increase flexibility and responsiveness within regional supply chains

Supporting industrial trade through inland waterways

River logistics play a critical role in regions where inland waterways serve as strategic corridors for the movement of raw materials and industrial cargo. This investment allows HRK to better support industries that depend on high-capacity, cost-efficient transportation solutions within Venezuela.

By integrating both the barge and tugboat into our operational ecosystem, HRK continues to build scalable, long-term logistics solutions aligned with regional infrastructure and trade needs.

Looking ahead

The acquisition of Itza and Marqués de Carabás reflects HRK’s commitment to combining global trade expertise with localized operational strength. Through continued investment in strategic assets, we reinforce our role as a trusted partner for companies seeking reliable execution across both international and inland supply chains.
