SNCF subsidiary VIIA is already looking to double weekly frequencies on its rail highway service between S\u00e8te and Calais, which was launched as recently as last month. VIIA and Naviland Cargo president B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Colin indicated that six weekly round trips were planned from January 2026 compared to the current three.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>\u201cThis increase in capacity is in response to growing customer demand, particularly from Turkey but also from local customers, to whom we will offer an integrated rail-road solution,\u201d she explained speaking to the media at the inauguration of the company\u2019s new rail-road combi terminal at the French Mediterranean port earlier this week.<\/p>\n

In 2026, VIIA is targeting the transport of 22,500 semi-trailers and containers between S\u00e8te and Calais, rising to 40,000 annually in the longer term, she added. Among VIIA’s partners in the S\u00e8te-Calais rolling highway is the Danish shipping company DFDS, which operates six weekly sailings between two Turkish ports and the port of S\u00e8te.<\/p>\n
