Regulatory News:
Following several months of testing with Eurotunnel's LeShuttle
Freight and "Unaccompanied Trailers" customers,
Getlink (Paris:GET) is unveiling Sherpass, its platform of
services to simplify border crossings for freight and the supply
chain. This new range of advanced services will be open to road
hauliers and logistics providers from October 2023.
A digital platform, Sherpass optimises flows for hauliers,
freight forwarders and shippers and improves the fluidity of supply
chains between France and the UK.
Working with selected partners, Sherpass offers customs and
border services as a natural extension to the Eurotunnel Border
Pass, which has already been adopted by more than one in two
Eurotunnel customers.
The re-establishment of the border between the United Kingdom
and Europe has forced shippers and carriers to manage a large
volume of formalities, requiring time, additional resources, and
the involvement of multiple subcontractors.
Sherpass provides a turnkey, one-stop solution that saves
hauliers a significant amount of time by eliminating the need to
enter information and the multiple interactions involved in
managing documentation. By centralising all the data flows required
for cross-border exchanges, Sherpass offers an integrated
end-to-end service in a single, simple and totally secure working
environment.
The solution enables the various players in the supply chain to
streamline all the procedures involved in crossing the border and
covers their expectations right through to the customs declaration
and clearance services.
Yann Leriche, Chief Executive of Getlink, said: "Getlink
has been operating on both sides of the Channel for 30 years and is
a vital link in the European supply chain. Our innovative and
straightforward services position us as the main gateway for goods
transiting between the UK and Europe via the short straits. With
Sherpass, we are continuing our strategy of creating value by
capitalising on our smart border expertise.”

About Getlink
Getlink SE (Euronext Paris: GET) is, through its subsidiary
Eurotunnel, the concessionaire of the Channel Tunnel infrastructure
until 2086 and operates Truck and Passenger Shuttle services (cars
and coaches) between Folkestone (UK) and Calais (France). Since 31
December 2020 Eurotunnel has been developing the smart border so
that the Tunnel remains the fastest, most reliable, easiest and
most environmentally friendly way to cross the Channel. Since its
inauguration in 1994, more than 481 million people and 99 million
vehicles have travelled through the Channel Tunnel. This unique
land link, which sees 25% of trade between the Continent and the
United Kingdom, has become a vital link reinforced by the ElecLink
electrical interconnector installed in the Tunnel, which helps to
balance energy needs between France and the United Kingdom. Getlink
complements its sustainable mobility services with its rail freight
subsidiary Europorte. Committed to "low-carbon" services that
control their impact on its environment (through its activities the
Group avoids the equivalent of 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 per year),
Getlink has placed at the heart of its concerns the place given to
people, nature and places.
