A new rail freight service connecting the Limay-Porcheville multimodal platform, near Paris, with Switzerland has been recently launched by Haropa Port. The initiative entails the transport of biofuel made from cooking oils.
The oils are “collected throughout France from catering professionals, communities or food industry manufacturers, they are processed by Diexlix/Sarpi Veolia in Limay”, Haropa Port specified. Every week, four isotank containers are taken to Swiss depots through a service operated by TDS.
Haropa Port, which manages the French ports of Le Havre, Paris and Rouen, is making efforts to shift more goods on rail. Other than this new service between Paris and Switzerland, another connection was launched in November linking Le Havre and Chalon-sur-Saône, in western France.
