Improving Rouen’s maritime access

Launched in 2012, this massive programme to deepen the navigation channel provides an extra metre of draught to be able to accommodate the latest generation of bulk carriers. Alongside this, port infrastructure has been, or is being, adapted to optimise safety for shipping: quay consolidation, increased mooring depths at berth, creation of a safety command centre at Radicatel, and so on. Cost: €207m.

Development of the Radicatel terminal

This site is of strategic importance for economic development across the region as a whole, and the work done here is aimed at adapting the shipping infrastructure for the gauge of the deepened channel in order to accommodate and develop shortsea traffic.
