RORO MAX : a cooperative project for a quality progress approach at the level of the Seine artery
Launched in June 2011 and supported by the State, the Upper-Normandy Region and the Feder, RORO MAX is an innovative project aiming at increasing the competitiveness and traffic growth of the ro-ro terminal in Le Havre. This cooperative quality progress approach aims to optimize all activities of the terminal. The project includes four research lines: improvement of the physical processes on the terminal, optimization of information flows, new value-added services, continuous improvement.
The RORO MAX project is fully in line with HAROPA dynamics because it has the ambition to take up the challenge of developing the waterway services on the Seine river artery, for vehicle transport between Paris and Le Havre.
* 5th biggest in the ranking of the main North-European ports, the HAROPA EIG groups together the ports of Paris, and the ‘Grands Ports Maritimes’ of Rouen and Le Havre. As a major maritime hub in Europe, HAROPA has the position of a competitive and sustainable logistics system integrating an end-to-end supply chain with efficient and environment-friendly hinterland services.
