Its ideal location and excellent communications links provide good access to the European hinterland. The Port of Le Havre is by far France's leading port for foreign trade, with over 60 million tons of traffic, including 1,200,000 tons of TEU containers. Le Havre is a major international transit port for fuel products, industrial and foodstuff bulk cargo and general cargo. It plays an essential part for the external trade of France and Europe. As a deep-water seaport, Le Havre can receive containerships of up to 14 meters draft and 6,000 TEU transport capacity in tidal dock. Cargo handling facilities are numerous and include general, ore and bulk cargo berths, tanker and liquefied gas terminals and specialised container and ro-ro berths.

When ammonium nitrate is in transit or loaded the port authority in Le Havre is requesting in addition to a packing certificate a certificate of manufacturer conformity in which it is clearly identified that dangerous goods are inside. This document is issued by the manufacturer. Unfortunately we are no longer able to load ammonium nitrate onto our vessels if this certificate is not available at the same time as the packing certificate is received. A copy must be sent to our office in order to supply the Le Havre port authority. For an example of the certificate please click here. BACK TO TOP ^ The Port Management The port of Le Havre is managed by the Port Authority: which is a state public body given legal status and financial autonomy, answerable to the Minister in charge of sea ports, and subject to the economic and financial control of the State. 250 private companies work in the port of Le Havre in order to provide the cargo and the ships with the different services. Geographic Location Located on the world busiest sea route through which a quarter of the world cargo trade carried by sea goes in transit, Le Havre is the first port of call for large transoceanic mother-ships. The port of Le Havre provides the shortest transport times for the commercial exchanges with all the other continents. This combination of shipping convenience and ideal geographic location makes Le Havre the only port in Europe where shipowners can be certain their vessels will always be fully loaded.

BACK TO TOP ^ French In-land Depot Service Did you know that OTAL can offer container equipment in strategic locations within France? OTAL's equipment department maintains a stock of 20' & 40' dry van containers at inland depots indicated below. As part of our on-going development plan in France, we have set up this network to provide a better service to customers loading cargo in and around these areas. Previously containers would have been positioned around France on request. Now containers can be delivered from one of the area inland depots to the shippers point of loading. This means savings to the customer in terms of time and inland transport costs. Once loaded, containers will be transported to the nearest port - Le Havre or Antwerp - where OTAL provides frequent sailings to West Africa.
