CMA CGM has enhanced its barge service between Lyon and Fos Eurofos and Seayard 2XL Terminals via the Lyon Rh繫ne Terminal, reported London's Port Technology International.

The improved service aims to strengthen competitiveness and operational efficiency across the Rh繫ne-Alpes region. It supports modal shift and reduces environmental impact, complementing CMA CGM's rail service through the Northern Port Corridor.

The barge route now offers daily departures in both directions, enabling two-day intermodal transit times to Lyon and nearby areas. The service also connects directly to six major maritime services on global trade routes.

CMA CGM recently signed a Term Sheet with Red Sea Gateway Terminal for a potential joint venture to develop and operate Terminal 4 at Jeddah Islamic Port.
