SNCF Logistics to collaborate with Port of Dunkirk

02-SNCF_LogisticsAlain Picard, Managing Director of SNCF Logistics, and Stéphane Raison, CEO of Port of Dunkirk, signed a partnership agreement for the next three years. This non-exclusive agreement will intensify the contacts and collaboration between SNCF Logistics and Port of Dunkirk, in order to enlarge the distribution hinterland of the port of Dunkirk, and ensure its long-term reputation as a major centre of transport logistics.
It will help to meet the demands of an increasingly international clientele, by building a comprehensive logistics offer and developing new solutions for smoother and faster transit through the port.
Awareness-building programmes will also be run jointly by SNCF Logistics and Port of Dunkirk to promote the setup of “virtuous logistics chains” (multi-purpose wagons, e-commerce, palletised traffic, etc) and the growth of multimodal transport, which are at the heart of tomorrow’s freight transport.
Finally, the partners will focus closely on developing the “logistics and transit” function of the port of Dunkirk, based on the experience of GEODIS. This collaboration should also contribute to the development of new logistics parks and culminate in Dunkirk’s inclusion in the new schemes for rail transport between China and Europe.
