Naviland starts Le Havre-Germany container rail link
Naviland Cargo, a SNCF Geodis subsidiary, has started the first container rail link to operate between the French port of Le Havre and Germany.
After beginning services to the Benelux countries in 2007 and Spain in 2009, Naviland will use this newest route to cover southwestern Germany. The terminal at Ludwigshafen is located to serve Eastern Europe.
A link between Germany and France's Lyon region, through a hub at Strasbourg, as well as the ports of Fos, Marseille and Barcelona is also operational.
The new service between Le Havre and Ludwigshafen will include three unit train rotations a week during the first year in service. Trains will travel between the two terminals overnight. Naviland Cargo plans to initiate daily frequencies on this route in early 2012.
