Visits of the Eurotunnel terminal in Coquelles

On Saturday 19 October 2019, Getlink welcomed to the Coquelles terminal nearly a hundred individual shareholders who were interested in seeing for themselves the Eurotunnel operational aspects and had previously registered for the visits on the Société Générale Securities Services sharinbox platform.

All the visits started with a time for conviviality and discussion at the Head Office and the screening of videos to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Eurotunnel’s operations.

During the 90-minute to 2-hour guided tours, shareholders were able to discover the behind-the-scenes at the Channel Tunnel, the Shuttle terminal for passenger vehicles, the platform area for loading and unloading vehicles onto and from the Passenger and Truck Shuttles, the service tunnel, the maintenance area, the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle Freight terminal for trucks, as well as the new installations created for Brexit.

According to testimonies of participants, all said they felt privileged to have taken part in such exceptional visits and expressed an interest in discovering other operational aspects in the future.
