About
Founded in December 2008, Aqualona was born from our desire to start a business.
The basic idea was to create a structure, a space, that would allow us to undertake, to dare, to develop new ideas. And that's what we set out to do.
The name of our company is not a coincidence.
First, there is "aqua," which means water in Latin. Water is the symbol of passing time and change. Its fluid nature represents the flow of time, constant change, and metamorphosis. It is a passage, a transition, a journey.
Next come our initials: L for Laura, our daughter, O for Owen, our son, N for Nicolas and A for Angélique.
As you will have understood, Aqualona is first and foremost a story of family, passion and transmission.
Today, Aqualona is a single name but a multitude of activities:
River Freight Transport: Our core business is transport by waterways.
Expertise in the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Since 2004, our 2 safety advisors have been putting their expertise at the service of Aqualona, but also at the service of other companies in the sector, for the transport of dangerous goods.
Additional Services: We also offer additional services in the context of river transport (technical advice, analysis, support).
We sell maintenance products and equipment to carriers and individuals. Drawing on our experience as a river carrier and the rigorous maintenance of our own equipment, we decided to share our expertise by selecting the best products for you, and this is how our new business, unveiled on November 3, 2025, was born.
We are sometimes asked where we find the time. The secret is passion. So if we had to summarize our professional life, it would probably resemble this quote from Confucius:
