In the first quarter of 2016 Shuttlewise, in cooperation with Novatrans, will start a regular rail shuttle between Rotterdam and Dourges (France). The service will initially operate five times a week.
“We will connect Rotterdam by rail to all of France. Dourges offers a direct connection to all corners of France via the seven Novatrans shuttles and the Green Modal service to Marseille. For France, we unlock an efficient connection to many short sea and other destinations via Rotterdam”, said Martijn Elbers, General Manager at Shuttlewise.
The shuttle will carry a very diverse mix of cargo: continental and maritime.
“This new connection with the port of Rotterdam strengthens the role of Delta 3 in Dourges as a multimodal and logistics platform in northern France,” underlined the President of Delta 3, Christophe Pilch. The Delta 3 terminal in Dourges (including road, maritime and rail) is managed and operated by LDCT. From Dourges there are road and rail connections for containers, tanks and swap bodies with (Southern) France, Spain, Italy, Romania and Turkey.
