Haropa Port is the French public port authority and logistics complex created by the merger of the ports of Le Havre, Rouen, and Paris along the Seine corridor. It manages maritime, river, and inland terminals, industrial zones, and logistics platforms, providing sea, river, rail, and road connections between the English Channel and the Greater Paris region.
For the chemical industry, Haropa Port is a major European liquid-bulk hub, handling crude oil, refined products, petrochemicals, industrial gases, and other chemical cargoes. The complex offers extensive storage, pipeline networks, and specialized terminals anchored by the Le Havre–Port-Jérôme–Rouen industrial basin. The authority develops and services industrial land with access to energy, utilities, and shared infrastructure, and collaborates with companies and public partners on projects related to safety, circularity, and the energy transition, including sustainable fuels, hydrogen, and CO₂ management. Its role is to facilitate reliable import and export flows and to host and connect processing, logistics, and distribution activities for France’s largest chemicals and energy cluster along the Seine axis.

Technical, digital and social findings from five years of port decarbonisation work presented at TRA 2026, plus cross‑sector lessons for ports and airports.
A 60-hectare site in Le Havre will host an e-methanol project to decarbonize maritime transport, supported by government and aligned with local industrial decarbonization efforts.
The cooperation aims to optimize, integrate, and commercialize a process to produce synthetic methane from dry biomass waste, supporting the transition to a zero-carbon industry.
Two projects will produce biomethane, e-kerosene, e-naphtha, and e-hydrogen using local biomass and CO₂. Scheduled for 2027, they aim to cut CO₂ emissions and support shipping and air transport.
