One supplier, General Cable, a leader in cable and wire manufacturing, ships cargo from its Montereau-Fault-Yonne production site to the Port of Le Havre by way of the Seine river transport system. This means that the manufacturer reduces its CO2 emissions by 30% (4,240 kg CO2 equivalent instead of 6,190 by road).<\/p>\n<p>HAROPA has become an essential link in the heavy lift logistics chain, mainly thanks to its cargo-handling capacity which means that loads from 25 to 1,000 tonnes can be handled.<\/p>\n<p>Because the corridor is within the Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA) zone, a project called Study for Alternative Fuels and Experiment in the SEine Channel Area (SAFE-SECA) is being implemented by HAROPA partner ports and financed with TEN-T funds. It aims to facilitate low sulphur fuel bunkering operations and to initiate a low-sulphur fuel bunkering supply chain in the Seine valley and bay.<\/p>\n<p>The fifth largest port complex in Northern Europe, HAROPA is a joint venture between the ports of Le Havre, Rouen and Paris. Connected to 600 ports worldwide, it handles over 120 million tons of cargo by sea and waterway each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HAROPA port system has received praise from ESPO for the role its playing in making the Seine artery a logistics system that is both competitive and sustainable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":10855,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-10854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-greenport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10856,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10854\/revisions\/10856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10854"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=10854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
