Medlog, the logistics subsidiary of MSC, has begun operations in the French capital with the official opening of the Inland Terminal Paris-Bruyères.
The facility features a two-track rail terminal and a 230-metre river quay, with an annual handling capacity exceeding 100,000 TEU, according to MSC.
Located in Bruyères-sur-Oise, approximately 40km north of Paris, the 11-ha terminal is designed to enhance intermodal connectivity between the capital and the port of Le Havre. It is equipped to handle breakbulk and project cargo, and offers container maintenance and repair services. The terminal also supports logistics flows for the agri-food and pharmaceutical sectors.
Rail and inland waterway transport are expected to be the primary modes of freight movement, with trucks limited to first- and last-mile operations.
Construction began in July 2024, and barge services linking the terminal to Le Havre have been operational since early 2025. The development is part of MSC’s broader strategy to expand its inland terminal network across France, Spain and Italy.
