THE concession for the construction and operation of
berths 11 and 12 at Port 2000 in Le Havre has been awarded to a joint
venture set up by DP World and the France-based international container
terminal operator Terminal Link - PortSynergy Group (GMP).
The
new terminal will add one million TEU in annual container handling capacity and
will include a 700-metre-long quay and a 42-hectare site.
The concession agreement is for a term of 34 years, including two years of
studies and design, two years of civil engineering work and 30 years of
operation, reported Devdiscourse, Delhi area.
The new berths will feature state-of-the-art equipment to
service large containerships, creating a terminal with smarter trade-enabling
solutions to increase productivity and greatly enhance its service capability
and quality, including a 35-hectare stacking area, direct rail access into the
hinterland and a seven-hectare area dedicated to buildings and operating
infrastructures.
GMP
managing director Louis Jonquiere said: "The addition of
the two new berths will enable us to secure more volume and provide
high-efficiency services. As a major hub port, the expansion in the terminal
will facilitate the capture of more volume from the trade, benefitting from the
momentum that has built in the region."
He continued: "We aim to enable smarter trade and
create a much stronger economic engine for the national and regional market. By
investing further in the terminal, GMP is driving economic development for the
region and generating career opportunities for the local population."
