On 17 July, the new rail motorway terminal in Cherbourg was inaugurated.
It links Cherbourg to Mouguerre (south-west France), enabling intermodal freight between Spain, Ireland, and the UK.
Cherbourg handled 91,866 trailers in 2024, confirming its role as a key RoRo hub post-Brexit.
The €11.2m terminal, co-financed by local, national, and EU funds, is equipped with LOHR technology for fast trailer transfer.
Brittany Ferries’ rail subsidiary BAI Rail operates the service, aiming for 6 weekly round trips from Sept 2025, with a daily service by 2030.
