French port complex HAROPA PORT is developing the port of Bruyères-sur-Oise to create a new multimodal platform, 40 kilometres from the capital of France, Paris.
Through this, HAROPA aims to strengthen the green multimodal logistics corridor along the Seine - by significantly increasing rail and river traffic - and preparing the connection between the Seine and the Oise to the future Seine-North Europe Canal.
Following a call for projects launched in 2022 for the allocation of this site, the winning bidder MEDLOG, the logistics arm of MSC, aims to set up a trimodal logistics platform dedicated to serving a regional hinterland, France's leading consumer basin, and a national hinterland, via the rail connection.
MEDLOG will take possession of the site on 1 October and start work immediately afterwards, with commissioning scheduled for the end of the third quarter of 2024.
Moreover, this trimodal logistics platform will fulfill several functions, the handling of several types of goods and flows, the export-standard reconditioning of food-grade and refrigerated containers and the maintenance and repair of containers.
