A structuring service at the heart of the northern range

With the arrival of the FE4 service, HAROPA PORT becomes the only French port included in the rotation of this new Asia-Europe service, and the last export port in the northern range. This configuration confers on Le Havre a major role for flows between Asia and Europe, and testifies to the renewed confidence of the major shipping lines in the performance of its infrastructures.

The FE4 service also enables HAROPA PORT to restore a direct connection with Kaohsiung (Taiwan) and to establish a new direct link with Cai Mep (Vietnam), strengthening the offer for shippers.

HAROPA PORT, a trusted partner in the PREMIER alliance

Launched at the beginning of 2025, the PREMIER alliance - bringing together HMM, ONE and Yang Ming - is part of a new dynamic in world maritime transport. In this context, HAROPA PORT has confirmed its ability to adapt to changes in the sector and to remain a benchmark hub for the major international alliances.
