Le Havre volume up 2%
The French Atlantic Coast Port of Le Havre handled 38.2 million tons in the first eight months of 2007, a 2 percent rise from the same period last year.
Hydrocarbons showed a slight increase of 1 percent to 8.8 million tons while general cargoes were up 9 percent to 10.3 million tons, driven by a 15 percent jump in roll-on/roll-off traffic with the United Kingdom, which reached 8.2 million tons.
In total, some 370,000 trucks and trailers (up 12 percent) and nearly 1.3 passengers and drivers (up 22 percent) have made the crossing in the eight-month period.
