German term or phrase: Binnenschiffsnachlauf
Sofern einzelne Sendungen per Seefracht geplant sind, die aus kommerziellen Gründen das Buchen von Schiffsraum ins Schwarze Meer nicht sinnvoll erscheinen lassen (große Anzahl kleiner Einzelverschiffungen, Sendungen aus Amerika und dem Fernen Osten) empfehlen wir, Raten für den Umschlag in den Nordseehäfen und den Binnenschiffsnachlauf bis zu den rumänischen Eingangshäfen zu etablieren.

Explanation:
As prompted:
I don't think we use the term "river ships". Are they not always described as 'barges' in English. You could say "onward shipment on the inland waterways" for example
