Opened in 2006, the Port 2000 complex transformed Le Havre (FR LEH) into France's leading container gateway, adding deep-water berths along a 4,200 m quay. Under the HAROPA PORT alliance, the system handled about 3.1 million TEU in 2024 (+19%) and climbed further to a record of roughly 3.2 million TEU in 2025 (+4%). Container terminals in Port 2000 include GMP's Terminal de France plus the Océane and Atlantique facilities, with the TiL-MSC terminals investing close to €1 billion in nine new mega-cranes, the largest in the world to date. Beyond boxes, Le Havre handles liquid and dry bulk, RoRo automobiles and general cargo, backed by a major oil-refining cluster. As the first deep-water call at the entrance to the North European range, it is a common first or last European port for Far East services. Inland, Seine barges reach Paris while rail shuttles and motorways extend the catchment — rail container traffic hit a record of about 145,000 TEU in 2025, up 18%. It is a primary EU customs entry point for Asian goods bound for France. Antwerp and Rotterdam are the main range alternatives, with Marseille-Fos serving Mediterranean routings.
