France-based CMA CGM has grouped five logistics businesses into what it claims will be a one-stop shop for multimodal transport operations.
 Greenmodal Transport will provide a door-to-door service by barge or rail with the “last kilometre” by truck.

France-based CMA CGM has grouped five logistics businesses into what it claims will be a one-stop shop for multimodal transport operations.
 Greenmodal Transport will provide a door-to-door service by barge or rail with the “last kilometre” by truck.
The new organisation groups five subsidiaries of the world’s third largest container shipping company: Rail Link Europe (offering combined rail-road services in France, Germany and Belgium) established in 2001; River Shuttle Containers (combined barge-road services) set up in 2000; Progeco (container storage and repairs) established in 1980; TCX (warehouses) created in 1975; and Land Transportation International (specialised road transport) established in 2000.
In 2011, the combined turnover of these five companies, which between them employ 530 people, was €120 million.
 CMA CGM said the objective was to promote modal transfers, with the main advantage being that as a multimodal operator Greenmodal would have total control over all means of transportation.
“As a result, any major logistics problems can be overcome by replacing one saturated or disrupted means of transport with another.”
   It added: “Greenmodal Transport is the only operator offering French customers the possibility of all three modes: road, rail and inland waterway.
“The fact the five are complementary means they can offer a one-stop shop of neutral, efficient and simplified services, with a single point of contact, to meet the highest expectations of customers regards container transport, storage and repairs.
   “Efficient and cost-effective, these combined solutions offer the most reliable and also the most eco-friendly means of transport, as they reduce CO2 emissions by limiting the distance travelled by road.”
