Making the port system attractive
Maintaining a high level of investment
In 2017, investments remained at a high level. The cumulative investments of 2016, 2017 and 2018 should exceed 1.5 billion euros. Over these three years, the high-level presence of private investors is indicative of the trust held in HAROPA by the companies on its various platforms. This renewed confidence has encouraged HAROPA and the public authorities to financially commit as well to this economically virtuous circle.
In 2017, the investments once again exceeded €500 million
With a cumulative amount of €427 million, investors are showing the confidence they place in HAROPA ports. The majority of these investments correspond to long-term plans, illustrating the intention of companies to build a major economic hub around the Seine corridor.
Backed by that renewed confidence, HAROPA is investing up to €86 million to provide infrastructures adapted to the needs of manufacturers, logisticians and other customers, while respecting the natural environment and integration in the urban environment. Public and private sectors combined, some €513 million were invested in connection with port activity on the Seine corridor in 2017.
