Maritime and river transport

Ferries, crossings, or sea shuttles, from Sydney to Gothenburg, we have a large fleet offering comfort and reliability for peaceful sea travel.

Maritime transport: an alternative form of mobility

Being a mobility leader means being responsible for developing agile mobility solutions that respect the environment. We help local authorities along coastal areas or near rivers integrate maritime shuttles into their public transport networks. The objective? Reduce congestion in cities and offer passengers an original, rapid, reliable and safe experience… without traffic jams.

Our fleet: river shuttles and ferries and passenger boats

The variety of our fleet allows us to adapt ourselves to the needs and opportunities of each region:

  • ferries: capable of carrying both passengers and vehicles, they help to greatly reduce the time needed to cross rivers such the Loire in Nantes;
  • river shuttles: they provide a rapid and efficient transport service for city residents and tourists. 
  • passenger boats: true alternatives to cars in harbours, allowing both ends of a bay to be connected more quickly, such as in Toulon. They are sometimes the only transport option and provide connections to islands, such as in Quiberon to the Houat, Hoedic and Belle-Ile islands or to Groix island from Lorient.

SWEDEN: IN GOTHENBURG, THE FERRY IS EASY TO USE Through our subsidiary Styrsöbolaget, we operate a ferry service between Gothenburg and its archipelago. The quality of our service has earned us a passenger satisfaction rating of 98%! Connected to the bus and train network, this service is part of the region's public transport network, which covers 49 municipalities and 1.5 million inhabitants.

Our approach: Every maritime service is unique!

We start with the need for mobility in order to provide the most suitable maritime solution, taking into account:

  • the geographical location
  • the size of the population to be served
  • the needs of each user

In this way, we help local authorities make the best choices in terms of maritime services.

On board each of our ships, we take care to ensure the peace of mind of our passengers during the crossing by guaranteeing:

  • the respect of travel times;
  • a comfortable trip;
  • real-time information;
