The port of Le Havre is host to the biggest plant in Europe for the construction of wind turbine blades and nacelles, located on a brownfield site. Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has chosen Le Havre to set up its industrial plant entirely dedicated to renewable energy. Unique in Europe, it houses under a single roof the facilities for fabrication of offshore turbine blades and nacelles that will be used for several French windfarms. The conversion of a site covering more than 60 hectares and the associated modifications to port quays were carried out by HAROPA PORT specifically to enable deliveries to the plant and the handling of heavy lift cargo.
IKEA is setting up operations at Limay-Porcheville port to make deliveries via the river. IKEA France has been based at Gennevilliers since 2019, and there is a constant theme to its decisions: to use the river as a transport mode for supplies to its city centre stores in Paris and the delivery of customers’ online orders. In 2021, IKEA France reaffirmed its confidence in HAROPA PORT by developing a new warehouse on a 16-hectare plot at Limay-Porcheville port.
With this new distribution centre, the Swedish enterprise has set itself the goal of developing sustainable logistics based as close as possible to the Paris consumer catchment area.
