Rail service between Rouen and Paris launched
Through its subsidiary FluvioFeeder Armement (FFA), Marfret is introducing a new container rail service in France to link Normandy with the Ile de France region (Bonneuil-sur-Marne).
FluvioFeeder Armement recently already started a weekly railway service between the TCMD container terminal in Rouen and the terminal in Bonneuil sur Marne east of Paris, used by T3M, a specialist in combined transport.
The interest of this new weekly rail service lies in its combination with the river service, Marfret said. The new rail shuttle, aligned with the commercial operations of the freighter the "Lydia" will primarily transport imports, and return flows potentially for exports with empty containers from Bonneuil to Rouen (drop off), plus domestic trade.
