New rail connection between Le Havre and Chalon-sur-Saône

Whether road or rail connections, the quality of inland services is essential for the attractiveness of a port such as Le Havre which is sized to handle 6 million TEU annually. After the opening of the rail junction in La Brèque in December 2010, and then the launch of a new rail service between Le Havre and Ludwigshafen in January 2011, the new service illustrates the dynamic growth phase of the port of Le Havre as regards the development of multi-modal transport services. This dynamic move will continue in 2013 with the coming-on-stream of the new Multimodal Terminal.
