A shuttle barge service on the Seine


Hapag-Lloyd, a global container liner shipping company, has launched a barge shuttle service for import and export containers from Le Havre, via the Parisian suburbs of Gennevilliers and Bonneuil-sur-Marne.

 

The vessels use the Seine, one of France’s longest rivers and a major waterway, connecting large cities such as Paris, Troyes, and Rouen. Régis Costiou, inland steering manager: “As part of our sustainability strategy, we are working on the decarbonisation of our business.”

 

Indeed, Hapag-Lloyd’s shuttle service is operated by Greenmodal Transport and replaces roughly 100 trucks per week, which helps to relieve traffic jams and reduce carbon emissions. (lh)
