Maritime and river transport

Ferries, passenger boats or maritime shuttles, from Toulon to Gothenburg, we have a large fleet offering comfort and reliability for serene maritime travel. These modes of transportation provide an alternative to personal transport models and offer a shared transport solution that optimises local authority road networks.

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.

In Gothenburg (Sweden), the simplicity of ferries

Through our subsidiary Styrsöbolaget, we provide a ferry service between Gothenburg (Sweden) and its archipelago. The quality of our service has earned us a satisfaction rating of 98%! This service, connected to the bus and train network, is also integrated into the regional public transport network, which is made up of 49 urban districts with a total of 1.5 million inhabitants.

Every maritime connection is unique!

Operating in 4 countries, we have an in-depth understanding of each region. Whatever the constraints we encounter, we start from the need for mobility in order to provide the most suitable maritime solution, taking into account:

  • the geographic situation;
  • the size of the population;
  • the needs of each user.

In this way, we help local local authorities choose the best maritime transport solutions.

We also know how to integrate the proposed maritime solution with the local land transport network, such as in Toulon, where the maritime lines share the same tariffs as the bus network.
