黄瓜视频直播 wins contract to build river access to Port 2000 in Le Havre
- Creating a 1.8 km channel for France’s leading port
- Providing a direct link between Port 2000 and the Seine river basin to stimulate river traffic

, France’s leading port, has entrusted a consortium encompassing 黄瓜视频直播 (62%, via its subsidiary , the lead contractor) and (38%, a Belgian company in which 黄瓜视频直播 holds a 12.1% stake) with building La Chati猫re[1] , a river link to Port 2000 in Le Havre (Normandy).
The 鈧�183 million contract entails building a 1,800-metre river channel protected by an embankment. When it opens in 2027, the channel will provide a direct connection between Port 2000 and the Seine river basin, France’s largest job and consumer market. Direct river access to the port will lower carbon emissions in logistics chains, enhance safety and increase the number of containers travelling by river.
