New rail freight initiatives are being implemented at the French port of Le Havre (part of HAROPA Port) and the Belgian of Antwerp. The former is led by Delta Rail, while the latter is a cooperation between Combinant and PSA Antwerp.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Delta Rail\u2019s new service connects the port of Le Havre with Chalon-sur-Sa\u00f4ne. \u201cOperated by DB Cargo France, Delta Rail’s haulage company, these convoys now serve the multimodal terminal at Lyon Port \u00c9douard Herriot\u201d, HAROPA Port said. The service will have two weekly roundtrips, which will be added to the seven already carried out on this route by Naviland Cargo.<\/p>\n

The new cooperation at the port of Antwerp entails the connection between PSA\u2019s Deepsea Terminals and Combinant Rail Terminal. The PSA\u2019s facilities involved are Noordzee and Europa Terminal, located on the right bank of the river Scheldt. This link is important for PSA as there is the Combinant rail terminal as a connection to the recently opened Duisburg Gateway Terminal, where the company invested.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, rail operators calling Combinant can now offer connections between PSA\u2019s Antwerp terminals and important logistics hotspots on the European continent such as Ludwigshafen, Bettembourg, Milan, Verona, Barcelona and Madrid\u201d, PSA added.<\/p>\n
