VINCI Wins Contract to Build River Access to Port 2000 in Le Havre

VINCI 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 boost river traffic
◼ A €183 million contract

HAROPA PORT, France’s largest port, has awarded a €183 million contract to a VINCI Construction (62%) and DEME (38%) consortium to construct La Chatière, a river link to Port 2000 in Le Havre.

The project involves building a 1,800-metre river channel protected by an embankment. Expected to open in 2027, the new route will improve river transport efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance supply chain safety.

Project Execution

  • A preliminary phase will involve clearing unexploded ordnances.
  • Several VINCI Construction subsidiaries will contribute, including:
  • Océlian (maritime works)
  • Navarra TS & Cardem Pyro (soil remediation)

This project reinforces VINCI Construction’s expertise in port infrastructure, complementing recent works at La Cotinière, Brest, Porto-Vecchio, and Port-la-Nouvelle.
