ecological and energy transition, cruise : Soon "emission-free" port calls for Le Havre cruise terminal

A big project

Next step in this major project : the electrification of the Pierre Callet quay, which will be operational from 2025. Work will then continue on the Roger Meunier and Joannès Couvert quays, to be finished by the end of 2025 and early 2026.

The existing « Hangar 13 » will be fitted out on a surface area of 1,200sq. ft to accommodate the high-voltage distribution equipment required for the specific needs of ships. 

A network of buried cables will be laid to vehicles equipped with an articulated arm to bring 8 power sockets to the ships.
These initial works follow the extension of the public electricity distribution network already completed by Enedis. 

20,000 tonnes of CO₂ saved

Each plug (weighing 15 kg each) will be able to supply 14 MW for a maximum of 30 MW on the three quays simultaneously. 
This project will avoid the emission of 15,000 to 20,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, but also improve air quality, reduce fossil fuel consumption and cut noise pollution.  

Investment

Placed at the heart of HAROPA PORT's strategic project, this project, known as RENAQ, represents a total budget of €32 million, with
