Neptune Lines has marked the first European port call of its newly built Neptune Pireas at NLS Port-La-Nouvelle in southern France.
The vessel arrived on 8 June and discharged 4,000 new vehicles, one of the largest volumes handled by the terminal since it began operations.
Neptune Pireas is the first vessel delivered under the company’s Genesis Project, which focuses on fleet modernisation and lower-emission finished vehicle transport.
The call also highlights the growing role of NLS Port-La-Nouvelle, Neptune Group’s new automotive terminal in southern France. The facility offers 20 hectares of operational space, storage capacity for 10,000 vehicles, 420 metres of dedicated quays and a 2,100 sqm pre-delivery inspection (PDI) centre.
The terminal combines Neptune Lines’ short-sea shipping network with road and rail connections, strengthening vehicle distribution across major European markets.
