MSC breaks ground on Paris multimodal terminal

The Medlog Inland Terminal Paris-Bruyères project is part of a wider renovation project underway at the Port 2000 site (TN MSC) in Le Havre and will provide rail and barge connections for the region’s importers and exporters.

The TN MSC Port 2000 project is a major investment programme by MSC’s port investment group, TIL, that aims to strengthen Le Havre’s role as a Northwest Europe gateway. The project targets to handle 5 million teu annually by 2027.

The Medlog Inland Terminal (Paris-Bruyères) is designed to provide improved infrastructure via rail and barge and enable logistics decarbonisation for customers in the Paris and Greater East region.

“The Medlog Inland Terminal Paris-Bruyères multimodal terminal is a landmark project for MSC, and we are very proud of it. It will provide an economic boost for the region, increasing containerisation and raising productivity, as well as providing more direct access to MSC’s global network for customers in the Paris and Greater East region,” said Philippe Lestrade, CEO of MSC France SAS.

Scheduled for completion in 2024, the terminal will also enable MSC and its subsidiary Medlog to offer new services usually provided at port terminals, such as container maintenance and repair, liquid cargo solutions, project cargo and container refurbishment for food-grade exports.
