French ports in 2019: river transport on Seine breaks records

Haropa did slightly less well in 2019 than the previous year. Despite stable hinterland traffic, container throughput deteriorated by 3.5%. The port trio achieved a total of 2.9 million teu. In 2018, it reached 3 million teu. The long series of protests against pension reforms in December undeniably played their part in this. As a result, Haropa saw 866,000 tonnes (about 50,000 teu) of container throughput go by the wayside.
