WHY TO CHOOSE THE HARBOUR LOGISTIC?

XP LOG Le Havre a good choice to make for your logistic

XP LOG decided to set up in Le Havre for the harbour logistic since more than 20 years. We believe it was a good choice thanks to the many advantages it provides us and we are going to explain them in this article.

First of all, to be in the harbour zone of Le Havre is a benefit for any company that has international flows such as industries. Here are the reasons why:

Le Havre is a strategic location where there is more than 25 millions of consumers 200km around and 200 millions of consumers 600 km around. Also, the proximity with Roissy Charles de Gaulle (1st European freight airport) which provide a perfect solution for the challenges of the international business.

In Normandy, there is 543 800 employees in the logistic area (any sector, any job). This allows XP LOG to have a low employees’ turnover which is a great advantage to work with loyal employees and benefit from their know-how in the logistic.

35% of the foreign companies that set-up in France make the choice to stay in Normandy. So we can assume that the area of Le Havre is attractive for the international companies.

There is 600 companies in the road transport area which means that there is an efficient way to serve and ship in France and in Europe thanks to the high amount of road infrastructures which are qualitative and fluent.

There is a lot of ways of transportation which can be local or international but also it can be full containers, freight, courier or even mono-parcels. You can find your tailored and secured way of transport.

Around the harbour zone, there is a huge highway network: Caen/Cherbourg/Le Havre/Rouen/Evreux and Paris.

Le Havre is the 1st French logistic hub : the whole maritime area is composed by the HAROPA (Le Havre, Rouen, Paris) which represent more that 2.9 millions m² of warehouses.

The port of Le Havre is the 1st French port of containers for the import. It can welcome the biggest ships without any restrictions.

Le Havre is also the 1st port of Northern Europe that a ship have to reach for the imports and the last one fort the exports, it is the door to access to all European harbours.

The container park is an important advantage of being at XP LOG.
