Groupe Eurotunnel SA

Eurotunnel maintains and manages the undersea structure of twin rail tunnels and a service tunnel below the Straits of Dover that connects the UK to the mainland. The tunnel is served by a fleet of 25 shuttles which transport tourist vehicles or trucks and freight trains. Through its subsidiary, Europorte 2, Eurotunnel is now able to operate on the rail freight networks in Europe. Since its opening in 1994, the Channel Tunnel - for which Eurotunnel holds the Concession until 2086 – has accommodated 230 million passengers and 215 tons of goods (as of Dec 31, 2008).
