Multimodal Cherbourg

Construction work on a new multimodal terminal at the Port of Cherbourg (part of Ports of Normandy) in France has commenced. This investment is part of a major rail-road transport scheme which, once completed, will connect the south-west of France to Great Britain and Ireland through Cherbourg. The port has several key strategic goals, including accommodating larger ships, as part of meeting the cross-Channel business which, it says, has grown by 25 per cent over the past decade.
