Let's talk about the future!

The activities of the Athus Container Terminal bring much in the way of interesting prospects and offer responses suited to:

• the demands of the market and the globalisation of trade: profitability, rapidity and efficiency in transport
• the problems of mobility and of saturation of the road infrastructure: the multimodal rail-road solution, and ‘door-to-door’
• the issues of energy economy and sustainable development: for most journeys, the ACT uses rail, which consumes less energy per unit transported than road. And on top of this, the nuisance caused by a train carrying 50 containers is substantially inferior to that caused by 50 trucks carrying one container each.
