CONTAINER flow through the Port of Le Havre reached a record 3 million TEU in 2018 despite an 8.4 per cent year-on-year decline in intermodal traffic, reports London's Container Management.
Strikes at the start of 2018 led to the decrease in rail traffic, but the performance of the Le Havre Multimodal Terminal improved as it grew to 155,000 TEU.
Full containers saw a net increase of three per cent and transshipments were stable due to an improvement at the end of the year.
The 2M alliance added Le Havre as a new port of call as part of the AE7 service, which HAROPA (Le Havre, Rouen, Paris) port authority 'confirmed the alliance's confidence' in the port.
HAROPA hit the three million TEU mark for the second year running and maintained its position as fifth ranking North European ports with a market share of 6.5 per cent.
