Synergy, the logistics operator of the Hutchison Ports Group, consolidates its intermodal service between the Hutchison Ports Terminal BEST (Barcelona), and the southwest of France.
This service was presented last February 2020, next to the Port of Bayonne, and since then the evolution has been very positive. Proof of this are the success stories of clients who are already benefiting from up to 11 days of savings in the transit time of their goods, and of important competitive advantages to import and export its products through the Port of Barcelona.
In reference to the evolution of the service, the General Manager of Synergy, Pablo Garcia, explains that "Synergy's commitment to France was motivated by the excellent geographical location of our terminal in Noain, which is only 100 km from the border".
In line with the European "EU Green Deal'' initiative, Synergy also brings added value to companies in terms of CO2 emission savings. Last year, Synergy saved more than 12,000 tonnes of CO2.
Pablo García points out that "a major blockage for many French companies has always been the customs difficulties in transporting their goods through the Port of Barcelona. At Synergy, we have also been concerned about solving this issue, and we already offer all kinds of services, such as customs services to simplify things for our customers".
Thus, Synergy positions itself as an integrated Port - Gate operatoroffering logistical, terminal and customs solutions, "All-in-one''
This new milestone joins the existing rail corridors between BEST and Noain (Pamplona), which already has 6 weekly frequencies, and between BEST and Miranda de Ebro (Burgos), which maintains its 4 weekly frequencies.
