Le Havre (FRLEH)

Le Havre, one of France's largest ports, has formed an economic alliance with Rouen and Paris called called "HAROPA". Its ideal location and excellent communications links give good access to the European hinterland. Cargo handling facilities offered by the port are numerous and include general, ore and bulk cargo berths, tanker and liquefied gas terminals and specialised container and Ro-Ro berths. In addition, the port is benefited by extensive storage and warehouse facilities and is also a major centre for ship-repair. There are also cross channel ferry and cruise ship passenger facilities. Oil tankers with a draught of more than 21m sail to the port of Antifer, located 20km N of Le Havre in position 49°40.0'N 000°08.0'E, which can accommodate vessels up to 550,000DWT.

The port is entered between North and South Breakwaters with a width of 250m. Note: Vessels not bound for Antifer may cross the approach channel W of "A17" and "A18" Buoys provided they do it as quickly as possible at right angles to the channel and well clear of any ship proceeding in the channel. Before crossing they must call "Le Havre Antifer" on VHF Ch 22 or "Le Havre Port" on VHF Ch 12 and any ship in the Antifer Channel. Vessels over 1,600GT carrying hazardous cargo may cross the channel W of Buoy "A16" provided they receive the authorisation from Le Havre Antifer Port on VHF Ch 22.
