Terminal BEST is making its ambitious project to extend its hinterland internationally a reality through collaboration with the Port of Baiona, in the French region of Nouvelle Aquitaine.
The Port of Baiona, historically specialised in bulk, wants to take a step forward in intermodality with the implementation of a cross-border door-to-door intermodal service. In this way, BEST and the Port of Baiona have joined forces to offer a new intermodal solution to importers and exporters in the South West of France, through BEST's logistics operator, Synergy, and the transport company GIMEX, based in Navarre.
The union of the partners of this innovative project will be presented by both in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Baiona, next Thursday 20th February 2020 in order to "take the pulse" of the sector, identify potential future users and adjust the service offer proposal to the needs of logistics professionals on both sides of the border.
The CCI of Bayonne, BEST , Synergy and Gimex invite shippers, freight forwarders, logisticians, transporters, importers and exporters to contact the Commercial Directorate of the port of Bayonne for further information and to register for the presentation event, either by e-mail (port@bayonne.cci.fr) or by telephone on +33 05 59 46 46 58 81.
The port of Baiona, as a fundamental tool for economic development at the service of the territory, is going to strengthen its logistics offer through the use of container transport to/from all over the world. At the same time, this is an environmentally sustainable solution, thanks to the combined use of rail and maritime services, thus limiting the impact of the carbon footprint generated.
The experience in intermodal rail transport that Synergy brings to this framework of collaboration between the two ports is undoubtedly the certificate of quality and reliability that any customer is looking for in a logistics partner. Some of the operator's success stories are its service from BEST to Pamplona, with a daily departure, and that of BEST to Miranda de Ebro (Burgos), which already has four departures per week, having been in service for little more than a year. The added value that these services bring to their customers are: the saving of up to 11 days of maritime transit time, offering direct services from Barcelona; and also the reliability in the face of the current situation of uncertainty that the French ports have been experiencing for several weeks.
