HAROPA PORT: FRANCE’S LEADING PORT FOR INDUSTRY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

HAROPA PORT, comprising the ports of Le Havre, Rouen and Paris, is a key player in international trade and industrial development. With 102 million tonnes of annual sea and river traffic, it is the leading port in France and the fourth largest in Northern Europe. Thanks to its network connected to over 660 ports worldwide, it ranks among the 20 best-connected ports in the world. On November 7th, HAROPA PORT marked a new milestone in its development with the announcement of ambitious industrial projects, including the creation of new logistics infrastructures, the reinforcement of bulk transport capacities and the launch of a hub dedicated to renewable energies.

A STRATEGIC HUB FOR LOGISTICS AND INDUSTRY

Located on the Seine axis, HAROPA PORT serves a vast hinterland, including the Paris region, France’s largest consumer market and Europe’s second largest with 25 million consumers.

Recent events have highlighted efforts to transform industrial port areas (5,600 hectares) into true competitiveness clusters. Among the initiatives announced, projects linked to the circular economy and renewable energies complete the 1.3 billion euro investment program (2020-2025).

SUSTAINABLE AND INNOVATIVE LOGISTICS

HAROPA PORT is committed to sustainable development. Energy transition is at the heart of its ambitions, with the development of multimodal solutions (rail, river, pipeline) and the preservation of 4,800 hectares of environmental space. The aim is to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of transport, while attracting industries that care about sustainability.

CONFIRMED ECONOMIC LEVERAGE

The economic impact is considerable: 160,000 direct and indirect jobs, 7.3 billion euros in wealth generated and sales of 422 million euros in 2023.

HAROPA PORT is thus establishing itself as a key player in the reindustrialization of France. By combining innovation, cutting-edge logistics and energy transition, it is meeting today’s challenges while building for the future. This model, which combines economic competitiveness with respect for the environment, places HAROPA PORT at the heart of global challenges and makes it an indispensable player for French and European industry.
