Regulatory News:
From September 18, 2021, a new cross-Channel freight service
will be open to all transporters, using an unaccompanied mode
through the Channel Tunnel. The service will benefit of Getlink's
(Paris:GET) unique customs expertise for the passage through the
border.
The crossing will be managed by Eurotunnel Le Shuttle Freight
and will operate 24 hours a day and six days per week. Departures
will be from the Group's two terminals in Calais or Folkestone. The
capacity will be 8,300 trailers per year. The Eurotunnel Border
Pass will allows transporters to speed up the border crossing by
digitising their administrative exchanges with the border
authorities.
This new rail service, which will emit 40 times less CO2 than
ferries1, will enable customers to decarbonize their logistic chain
by choosing rail. The modal shift also contributes to the French
government’s objectives of doubling the share of rail in freight
transport by 2030 and to UK government plans to decarbonize freight
set out in the Green Industrial Revolution plan.
“By offering a new low-carbon, reliable and ultra-secure
service, we are responding to a changing demand, and we confirm our
determination to be the preferred means of passage for the most
demanding logistics chains. " explains Christian Dufermont,
Freight Commercial Director of Eurotunnel.
