A sustainable connection between Loire-sur-Rhône and Fos-sur-Mer
Hapag-Lloyd understands sustainability as one of our core responsibilities. We strive to develop bestin-class Inland products and innovative sustainable solutions moving your cargo door-to-door. That is why in France we combine barge with train services and launch an innovative river service connecting Loire-sur-Rhône and Fos-sur-Mer
- A weekly barge service connecting Loire-sur-Rhône with Fos-sur-Mer
- An enhanced multi-modal coverage of the départements of Isère, Loire and Rhône-Alpes
- An alternative transport option to the often congested Port of Lyon
- A fixed weekly volume reserved for Hapag-Lloyd customers
- A reliable and more eco-friendly intermodal service
- Reduce your carbon footprint using barge services, which produce less CO2 emissions: Each ton moved via barge produces 5 times less CO2 than road transport
- Benefit from a shorter duration by avoiding congestions and traffic jams on the highways and streets in and around Lyon
- Reduce the risk of delays and additional costs
- Help lowering local noise pollution as transport by barge is the most silent mode of transport
Please note:
- Hapag-Lloyd is exploring partners to offer a fully green alternative transport solution by using only “green” trucks (e.g. those using vegetable oil or other bio fuels)
- Hapag-Lloyd continuously examines all options to use biofuels instead of diesel fuel for barges,
in order to reduce CO2 emissions by 90%
