Combined transport: intermodal solutions from A to Z

We have made combined transport a strategic part of our development on the liquid cargo sector. This highly competitive and environmentally friendly mode of transport is particularly well suited to long haul shipments.

This is why in 2001 we teamed up with Ermewa, the world's second largest tanker rental company, and Fret SNCF, France's rail freight operator, to create Ermechem, a company that specialises in intermodal chemicals transport.
 
 
Ermechem's development relies on three key elements:
   
Service offer: highly effective business plans using multiple modes of transport to assemble, organise and manage all or part of your supply chain activities
   
Reliable shipments: a combination of the expertise of three operators to ensure high quality supply chain management, particularly through the use of tracking to follow the progress of trains and containers
   
A capacity for optimisation: high quality multimodal logistics and transport solutions to simplify your supply chain and cut costs
