FRANCE's Seine river and sea port organisation has been re-organised as Haropa Port, uniting Le Havre, Rouen and Paris into a single maritime entity.
They now form a single port, ranking No 1 in France and fifth among harbours of the northern range.
Chiefly, Haropa Port serves Paris and its hinterland population of 25 million, the largest in France and the second largest in Europe.
France's central government has provided a new port complex with EUR1.45 billion (US$1.75 billion) for the years 2021-2027, which will fund development of port facilities.
New-generation projects will focus on local regions and protective in all cases of the environment and shared resource use.
Haropa Port will present a higher profile in Europe's competitive environment and provide a preferential location for new industrial operations generating new jobs.
"This high level of ambition is founded on winning back market share by offering a benchmark port and logistics system to serve customers and partners in France and overseas," said Haropa Port CEO Stephane Raison.
Haropa Port has its headquarters in Le Havre. Its supervisory board members come from central government and local authorities, in addition to qualified public figures.
