Day after day, we are at your side. And if you use the waterways to transport your goods (in bulk or in containers), you benefit from price discounts on your rent, while remaining perfectly free to choose your service provider.

Our supply-chain offering is structured around three key services:

1 - Scheduled river transport lines
Logiseine offers door-to-door supply-chain services along the Seine between Le Havre, Rouen and the Paris-Terminal platforms in Bonneuil and Gennevilliers, plus connecting road haulage services in Ile de France. The Logiseine Economic Interest Grouping comprises Terminaux de Normandie, Compagnie Fluviale de Transports (CFT) and Paris Terminal SA. It operates weekly river container transport lines between the platforms of Bonneuil-sur-Marne and Gennevilliers and the Autonomous Ports of Rouen and Le Havre.

Maritime companies also run scheduled waterway services on the Seine:

• French shipowners CMA-CGM launched their subsidiary RSC (River Shuttle Containers) in early 2005 with a new four-weekly service between Le Havre and Gennevilliers.
• Danish maritime company Maersk Line, a subsidiary of the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group and the world's n°1 maritime transport group, started a scheduled waterway service on the Seine in July 2006.
• Italian-Swiss shipowners MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) have been running two weekly waterway services since 2005, between Gennevilliers and Le Havre with a stop in Rouen.

2 - River container terminals:

Paris Terminal
Paris Terminal comprises the Autonomous Ports of Paris, Le Havre and Rouen, the Compagnie Nouvelle des Conteneurs, the Compagnie Fluviale de Transport, Terminaux de Normandie, the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Nord France Terminal International. It provides container transport and repair, short-distance transport for container barrowing, handling, stuffing and stripping. Paris Terminal SA manages the Gennevilliers terminal, the only platform to combine 5 modes of transport (river, river-maritime, rail, oil pipeline and road) for containers in  Ile-de-France.

In the port of Bonneuil-sur-Marne (94) Paris Terminal also operates a 11,350m² platform developed by the Autonomous Port of Paris to store containers in the south-east of Paris. A service of river shuttles between the port of Le Havre and the port of Bonneuil-sur-Marne make use of the existing Gennevilliers-Le Havre line. It proposes a frequency of 3 departures a week and offers companies in the south-eastern part of the Paris region all the advantages of combined transport: safety, regularity, responsiveness, administrative facilities (notably for Customs procedures), and storage facilities...

Limay-terminal, the supply-chain platform for western Paris
Limay is the biggest river-maritime port in Ile-de-France, the largest multimodal platform to the west of Paris, and offers direct connections by the A13 motorway to Paris (50 km), Rouen (85 km) and Le Havre (150 km). The container terminal covers some 5,000 m² and that surface area will be extended to 25,000 m² in 2012. Since it came into service on 14 November 2007, 1,096 TE (twenty-footer equivalents) have passed through the terminal for clients such as Lapeyre, Carrefour and Soufflet. The Limay Terminal company is a subsidiary of SHGT (Société Havraise de Gestion et de Transport), a Le Havre handling firm, and the SCAT (Société Coopérative de Transport Fluvial). It handles 35% of container traffic on the Seine and has been operating the new container terminal since October 2007.

A fast-growing terminal network: Evry, Montereau-Fault-Yonne and Bruyères-sur-Oise
To accompany the growth in waterway container traffic in Ile-de-France, the Autonomous Port of Paris is investing in the development of river container terminals and in extending the existing terminal in Gennevilliers (92), at the hub of European transport routes and located to the west, north and south-east of Paris respectively. With Limay-Porcheville (78) in 2007, then Evry (91) and Montereau-Fault-Yonne (77) for which calls for tender have just been issued, and Bruyères-sur-Oise (95) currently planned, the Autonomous Port of Paris proposes a capacity of over 100,000 container movements via the waterways, thanks to these new terminals.

3 - Developing rail-river synergies

A rail shuttle provides a regular service between the terminals of Gennevilliers (92) and northern Italy. With its capacity of 40 ITU (intermodal transport units) by train, the service has already won over a dozen or so forwarding companies (Labouriaux, Sitra, Euromodale, Veolog, Intermodaletrasporti...).

Progeco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of shipowners CMA-CGM, the world's third-largest operators, have been managing the multimodal (water-rail-road) terminal at the Bonneuil-sur-Marne site since 2007.
