The Ports of Normandy Authority (PNA) and the Port of Le Havre have signed a partnership agreement with a view to setting up a maritime container shuttle service, reported Factiva Press Release Service.
The agreement will pave the way for a strengthening of the co-operation in the Baie de Seine between the two entities, covering Caen-Ouistreham and Cherbourg on the one hand, and Le Havre on the other.
A study led jointly by PNA and the Port of Le Havre has made it possible to identify a range of possibilities for enhanced co-operation. Among them, there is the realistic prospect of generating regular container traffic between the port of Caen-Ouistreham and the shipping terminals at Le Havre on the basis of five hours’ point-to-point navigation time (i.e. from quayside to quayside).
