Résumé anglais Sea-river coasters have appeared on the river Rhône in 1977. They are sea-ships classified in international coastal-trade, whose architecture has been designed to fit transport on navigable rivers of big size. They make transport without break of bulk possible between a river port and any port of the Mediterranean, making unnecessary a break of bulk in a sea port. It river ports, the cost of handling is far cheaper than in sea-ports, and any one who will use sea-river coasters will find it of great economical interest to settle by the river, either in order to use the services of a port managed by a Chamber of Commerce or, even, to create there his own wharehouses and implements. This developping technical improvement may bring, at least, three sorts of consequences : new industrial plants along the rivers Saône and Rhône ; the creation of new dispatch-ports and concentration-ports inside the continent ; the benefit of a more important traffic along the Rhône-Valley.
