Getlink SE

Getlink SE is an infrastructure and transport group involved in the entire lifecycle of its projects, from conception and funding to construction and ongoing operation. Its diverse activities are structured into three main divisions: Eurotunnel, Europorte, and ElecLink. The Eurotunnel division manages the three approximately 50-kilometer tunnels beneath the English Channel, along with their associated terminals in Folkestone (UK) and Coquelles (France). This segment facilitates the passage of various vehicles, including lorries, private cars, motorhomes, caravans, coaches, and motorbikes, via its shuttle services. Furthermore, Eurotunnel oversees high-speed passenger rail traffic and freight trains, as well as maintaining the fixed equipment and associated infrastructure within the link. Europorte specializes in comprehensive rail freight solutions, encompassing domestic and cross-border transport, local services for less-utilized lines, managing individual rail junctions, maintaining infrastructure, and providing wagon loading/unloading services. The ElecLink division is responsible for building and operating a 1-gigawatt electrical interconnector linking the UK and France. Beyond these core activities, Getlink SE also has interests in retail for third parties, telecommunications cabling, training initiatives, property ventures, and the distribution of travel insurance. Established in Paris, France, in 1986, the company operated as Groupe Eurotunnel S.E. until its rebranding to Getlink SE in April 2018.
