A year after its launch between Rouen and Bonneuil-sur-Marne, Marfret's container rail service is expanding between Normandy and Ile-de-France with an additional stop in Gennevilliers.
In addition to its weekly rotation between the ports of Rouen and Bonneuil-sur-Marne, the port of Gennevilliers is now included in Marfret's container rail service. It is now possible to book space on the two legs: Rouen / Bonneuil-sur-Marne and Bonneuil-sur-Marne / Gennevilliers / Rouen.
This rail shuttle, combined with the river service provided by MARFRET, is a major addition to improve multimodal services on the Seine axis and offer HAROPA customers competitive logistics solutions to serve our regions.
"I welcome this development, which confirms the port's ability to develop combined transport. This service also connects the various HAROPA - Ports container terminals, including the Paris Terminal SA", Antoine Berbain, Managing Director of HAROPA - Ports of Paris, explains.
This new service takes advantage of the positioning and quality of the multimodal links in the port of Gennevilliers. In addition to its river connection on the Seine and its road connection to the A86 and A15, the port has a network of nearly 25 km of railway tracks connected to the national rail network within its 400-hectare site.
According to Guillaume Vidil, Managing Director of Marfret, "The additionnal stop in Gennevilliers is part of our group's strategy to develop efficient, sustainable mass transport for the Ile-de-France region service. The rail sector, new to our company, brings many challenges to be met and nurtures the entrepreneurial, adventurous spirit at the heart of our DNA."
