On 25 June, Voies navigables de France organises a one-day event in Paris to provide information on the opportunities of waterway transport in the field of urban logistics, in partnership with the federation of environmental organisations France Nature Environnement, Lafarge and the Club du Dernier Kilomètre de Livraison (CDKL).

The event will showcase not only strengths, innovative initiatives and opportunities, but also challenges of clean and low-carbon logistics, by presenting various concrete examples and testimonials, with roundtables and demonstrations on the Seine. Similar events will be organized in other French cities in 2014 to encourage and foster ideas to include river transport in urban projects.

Some examples today are perishables and express packages.
