Still on a positive trajectory, France’s leading port continues to grow and invest

Members Corner

In an international context marked by numerous crises, HAROPA PORT has been progressing despite a market in downturn, demonstrating notable resilience, winning additional market share in the Northern Range and improving its modal shares on the Seine Axis. The port, which began its transformation at the time of the merger in 2021, is now seeing the first significantly positive results with MSC’s historic decision to invest in reinforcing the Seine logistics corridor. In 2023, France’s number 1 port intends to continue its investment and its transformation, developing the first decarbonised industrial ecosystem and continuing the structural development of its multimodal logistics corridor.

“In 2022, the global economy was impacted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, combined with the ongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and inflation, which has reached levels not seen for several decades. And despite this, for HAROPA PORT, the year has been one of a change in scale and striking resistance to these headwinds in the context of strategic focuses approved by its Supervisory Board. These encouraging results and the consolidation of the port’s strategy make HAROPA PORT an effective project for local regions and a key component of France’s international outreach and sovereignty. This encourages us to pursue the transformation of France’s number 1 port.” Cédric Virciglio, HAROPA PORT Strategic Planning Director
