NEW WATERWAY LINK FROM DUNKIRK
6th march 2014

Today sees the start of a new regular service operated by Contargo Container Escaut Services SAS (CCES) between Valenciennes and Dunkirk: the DV1 (Dunkirk – Valenciennes 1).

The rotation will initially involve one barge a week. This new CCES service will supplement Dunkirk’s waterway links in the region following the startup of the Nord Port Shuttle (NPS) serving Lille and Dourges at the end of 2013.

The first rotations will be carried out by the ENAXOR barge that can carry 28 TEU (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units), although the capacity of the barges can be altered to suit requirements. This service offers a transit time of Day A - Day B with schedules set to synchronise with the Asia/Europe container services calling at the Port of Dunkirk: MSC’s LION service and the FAL 7 service of CMA CGM.
