Helios launched in 2024 hold the record with 312 solar panels supplying low voltage onboard systems (HGK)

[3/3] Ce navire de 86 m, adapté aux canaux peu profonds (tirant d’eau de 1,1 m), est aussi équipé pour la navigation à distance. Exploité par HGK, il transporte de l’acier entre Salzgitter et Friedrichsfeld. Ce projet incarne l’avenir vert du transport fluvial. #geography #inlandshipping #energy

Blue Marlin has 192 solar panels (Wattlab)

[2/3] Développé par Wattlab (Pays-Bas), le système solaire alimente directement la propulsion électrique. En période de faible charge, le navire peut avancer uniquement grâce au soleil. Une gestion automatisée optimise l’énergie, réduisant l’usage du diesel. #geography #inlandshipping #energy

[5/5] Le terminal de #Lyon doit aussi accompagner la réindustrialisation. L’État et la CNR identifient 35 sites à équiper le long de l’axe MERS, avec des services adaptés : fluvial, rail, eau industrielle, énergie. #geography #inlandshipping #rivertransport #hinterland

[4/5] Le projet vise à renforcer le rôle de #Lyon comme nœud logistique national et européen. L’intermodalité (rail/fleuve) doit séduire les industriels de la région et doper les exportations via #Marseille, Le Havre ou Dunkerque. #geography #inlandshipping #rivertransport #hinterland

[3/5] Trois hectares de stockage seront créés. Même si le fluvial est plus lent (36 h pour 330 km), il reste attractif grâce à sa faible empreinte carbone, sa fiabilité et sa ponctualité. #CMACGM veut le rendre simple et compétitif. #geography #inlandshipping #rivertransport #hinterland

[2/5] Le transport fluvial ne représente que 5% des flux Marseille-Lyon. #CMACGM investit 40 M€ (dont 11 M€ par la CNR) pour moderniser le site : centralisation sur le terminal 2, nouvelles voies ferrées, digitalisation des flux. #geography #inlandshipping #rivertransport #hinterland

Transport fluvial : CMA CGM prend ses quartiers à Lyon, un enjeu de réindustrialisation pour l'Etat Lauréat de la sous-concession du Terminal à conteneurs du port Edouard Herriot (Lyon), le consortium porté par CMA CGM a pris ses quartiers ce 1er avril. L’occasion de rappeler le calendrier et les am...

[1/5] Anne Taffin explique comment #CMACGM a pris en main le terminal à conteneurs du port Édouard-Herriot à #Lyon. L'objectif est de dynamiser l’axe Méditerranée-Rhône-Saône et doubler le #fretfluvial d’ici 2032 (objectif : passer de 55.000 à 110.000 EVP). #geography #inlandshipping #rivertransport

What a canal upgrade can do to boost rail freight After years of political back and forth, the Wilhelmina canal in Tilburg, southern Netherlands, is getting an upgrade. It will allow bigger ships further down… The post What a canal upgrade can do to boost rail freight first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.
