Port of Le Havre reports traffic growth, congestion
The port of Le Havre’s container traffic rose 9 percent to 5.2 million tons in
the first quarter, as the French port battled with congestion.
'' “This
result has been achieved despite some difficulties encountered in the port,
especially for reasons of congestion of port facilities and transport means,”
the port authority of Le Havre said.
'' The port and its shipping line users
hope that congestion will be resolved with the opening of its Port 2000
container complex early next year.
