The thwarted ambitions of the port of Le Havre

SURVEY - Haropa Port, the public establishment which brings together the ports of Le Havre, Rouen and Paris, is attracting more and more investment. But the “zero artificialisation” law is hampering the modernization of the Seine estuary.


The transformation of the port of Le Havre, to remain one of the most competitive French ports in the "northern European range", is continuing at a brisk pace.

Since the creation, in June 2021, of Haropa Port, the public establishment which brings together the ports of Le Havre, Rouen and Paris, investors have responded massively.

On paper, more than 4 to 5 billion euros for investments in progress - or to come - have already been made over the past two years.

Last spring, for example, the American chemical group Eastman announced that it was investing nearly 1 billion euros in a state-of-the-art molecular plastic recycling plant in the Haropa area.

The Belgian company Futerro, for its part, is setting up a biorefinery with an investment of 700 million and 250 jobs at stake.

For its part, Air Liquide, the French industrial gas giant, is engaged in the construction of two new structures dedicated to the development of green hydrogen.
