1994 : opening of the first container river line between Paris and le Havre
In 1994 Paris Terminal helps set up Logiseine, a company operating the first regular container transport lines on the Seine, connecting the Gennevilliers terminal to the ports of le Havre and Rouen. The terminal is the shipping lines’ container depot.
Paris Terminal has been managing the Bonneuil site since 2003.
Below Gennevilliers the Seine is open to TEU river convoys with a length of 180 m, a width of 11,40 m, for a draught of up to 3,50 m. It is open to river/sea convoys with a dead weight of up 2 600 tons. The platform can be reached by 88 TEU convoys on the upstream part of the Seine and on the Oise. Convoys get to Le Havre within 30 hours. Gennevilliers is directly connected to the A86 and A15 motorways, close to the A1, A13 and A14 motorways to Normandy. The platform has a railway connection, on the RER C network and the outer circle railway.
