HAROPA achieves record container throughput at the Port of Le Havre

Container flows to the hinterland at the Port of Le Havre reached a record 2,101m teu in 2018 despite an 8.4% year-on-year decrease in container rail traffic to and from Le Havre.

Strikes at the start of 2018 led to the decrease in rail traffic but the performance of the Le Havre Multimodal Terminal improved with a 7% growth to 155,000 teu.

Full containers saw a net increase of 3% and transhipment was stable due to an improvement at the end of the year.
