Since the start of the year, HAROPA - Port of Le Havre has been berthing the Saudi Arabian national shipping line with a ro-ro service for containers, as well as conventional and heavy-lift cargo.
This new bi-monthly service, which now links HAROPA to the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf, reinforces HAROPA's position among the major European industrial and port complexes.
Six ships have been deployed as part of this service.
Among them, the Bahri Tabuk, which opened the new sea link to the ro-ro terminal in Le Havre at the beginning of the year. The Bahri Jazan which called in Le Havre on Monday 18 June was the ship's 3rd port call to France in the year.
These 225m-long vessels are equipped with an access ramp with a capacity of 250 tonnes and two cranes each lifting 120 tonnes. The ships carry various export goods such as new vehicles, construction machinery and electric power generators, as well as railway and miscellaneous construction equipment.
