Marfret has been supporting sustainable development for more than 15 years. In 2005, as part of its drive, the company launched its Fluviofeeder service, designed to offer seafreight customers a massified pre- and onward carriage solution along the River Seine for goods departing or arriving on transatlantic routes. The service is an environmentally-friendly alternative to road transport, taking 20,000 heavy goods vehicles off the roads each year for the past 15 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nissue of massification is one that a growing number of our clients -shippers, manufacturers,\nexporters, importers- are looking at more closely as part of their own drives\nto protect the environment and improve air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our\nvision is to capitalize on the growth potential of river transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nFFA river-sea shuttle presently operates two weekly services between Le Havre\nand Rouen using the 100-m long, 300TEU-capacity Arina<\/em>. The vessel connects the terminals at Le Havre\u2019s Port hub at\nRouen. The multimodal strategy is also based on creating added value through\nsynergies with local businesses, freight forwarders and logistics companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This\nstrategy has been boosted over the years with the construction of two 45-m long\nself-propelled barges, the Lys<\/em> and\nthe Seine<\/em>, to serve the Marne and\nParis basins. The two 1500-tonne capacity vessels operate twice weekly services\nfrom Rouen to Nogent-sur-Marne and Gennevilliers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks\nto the service, our clients save on storage costs and benefit from an\neconomical and environmentally-friendly off-site logistics solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nacquisition of the Somap handling company in 2017 has opened up new\nopportunities. Thanks to an ongoing partnership with AMS, another stevedoring\ncompany operating at the Rouen container terminal, the company is on the road\nto becoming competitive once again, while providing its clients with an\nenhanced service offer thanks to the expertise of its team of 35 dockers. This\nrepresents a new phase for Somap, based on a pooling of handling equipment with\nits partner, one which will boost activity at the terminal and reaffirm its long-standing\nties with the port of Rouen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nSeine Valley route is also a huge lever for the circular economy. By linking Pr\u00e9cy-sur-Marne\nwith Gennevilliers by river, Fluviofeeder provides a transport link for waste\nprocessing companies to ship waste to sorting centres, thus creating a virtuous\ncircle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through\nFluviofeeder, the Marfret Group is acting and innovating for its customers and\nthe planet by addressing the challenge of decarbonizing the transport industry.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marfret has been supporting sustainable development for more than 15 years.
