Seine Gateway®
The Seine River Valley’s response to massify flows and serve national and European hinterlands
marCH 2015
the beginnings of Seine GatewayThe Seine Gateway® project originated when it was acknowledged that Paris and its surrounding Île-de-France outskirts had reached their economic limits in their current perimeters. The Seine River Valley and the Normand coastline could allow Paris to take advantage of a high-quality area located in their natural geographical continuation, but above all, an opening onto ports with the Le Havre port, the Seine River ports as well as those on the coastline. Our position is that this maritime opening will confer to Paris the global city dimension necessary in the ferocious competition between the largest international cites in the 21st century.
a network based approachSeine Gateway® is the Seine River Valley’s strategic economic project. It corresponds to the ports, supply chain and industrial structuring in the Seine River Valley through infrastructures as well as synergism which contributes to building a balanced organisation of a metropolitan area reaching out to the rest of the world.The gateway approach uses the logic of a “one-stop service approach” in linking physical assets: infrastructures, equipment, relationships between stakeholders, flows and exchanges. This is a network-based strategy that exceeds territorial competition, one that includes the entire Normand coastline (from Cherbourg to Dieppe), continuing up to Paris with the Seine River. This was the approach employed by other areas in their regional and economic development strategies, such as the one used by Greater London with Thames Gateway and Antwerp with the Extended Gateway®.
In 2012, AURH published the report “Seine Gateway® 1.0 - Artist’s rendition and previews of the Seine Gateway® and they element of its roll-out.”
(new) governanceIn February 2012, Antoine Rufenacht, the General Commissioner in charge of Seine River Valley Development, wrote a report for the French Prime Minister. On 22 April, 2012, the nomination of François Philizot as the Inter-Ministerial Development Delegate for the Seine River Valley, reporting to the Prime Minister, provided new stimulus to this project. This new governance was in charge of drawing up “strategic guidelines to equip and develop the Seine River Valley.”
new cooperation serving aregional projectIn January 2012, the Economic Interest Group, Haropa, which targeted the Seine River Valley ports of Le Havre, Rouen and Paris, saw the light of the day.As a result of meetings on the economy, held in Versailles in 2011 and 2012, the Norman and Paris Île-de-France CCIs jointly headed the Paris Seine Normandy® approach in order to structure the Seine River Valley economy. Lastly, aware of the strategic stakes involved in the Seine River Valley, and working to reach them since 2009, the six town planning agencies, AUCAME (Caen), AURH (Le Havre), AURBSE (Rouen), AUDAS (Downstream Seine River Valley), APUR (Paris) and IAU-Idf (Île-de-France), signed, a “Cooperation Charter of Seine River Valley Agencies,” in November, 2014, thus formalising this approach as well as the future of this partnership.
“Stakes are simple for France,
Normandy, the Seine River Axis,
Rouen and Le Havre: either we admit our coastal evidence, or
we find ourselves simply out of the
picture, economically speaking.”
Antoine Grumbach, 2009
The Seine Gateway® approach is based on a key European freight transport axis, the Seine River Valley, which includes road, railway, inland waterway, air and of course, sea transport modes. Considered in a more global context, this is one of the regions in North-Western Europe where modal transport changes could take place, both using inland waterways and railways. This complete and uncongested infrastructure network, located downstream from the Pas-de-Calais strait, a heavy maritime traffic zone and one that is potentially accidentogenic, is a key asset for Le Havre and the Seine River Valley.
Haropa comes in currently in 5th place for European port complexes, and enjoys an international outreach with 600 ports throughout the world, and a total traffic of 89.2 million tonnes in 2014, boosted by the thriving freight container traffic which is up 4.9% as compared to 2013 (Haropa sources).
Haropa completes the infrastructure offer thanks to a network of multiple mode platform and ports located on the Seine River banks and the Norman coastline. This port alliance, with its myriad of partnerships, in particular that of Ports Normands Associés [Association of Norman Ports], currently includes about thirty ports that can cover all types of traffic.

The gateway is based on a high-performing supply chain serving ports and industries.
The Seine Gateway® approach aims to optimise freight flow and create added value. Because of this, it must work hand-in-hand with a powerful industrial and port infrastructure to manage this flow. However, in the context of the abrupt transformation of the global economy (industrial growth, globalisation, economic growth in developing countries, flows and the globalisation of value streams), the question of the sustainability and changes in the productive economy of the Seine River Valley must be posed.
In spite of a sharp drop in industrial jobs, the Seine River Valley remains a leading production area from a domestic point of view.
the many facets of the Seine River Valley / Seine Gateway® economy
Traditional and heavy industry: chemistry, automobile production and oil refining, all have been impacted in the past several decades, leading to fewer jobs, the consequences of managerial and productivity gains and delocalising.
Developing industries: tourism through cruises, aeronautics, food-processing industries and logistics are all industries creating jobs and boosting our domestic economy with a positive balance of trade in these areas.
Changing industries: energies, waste management, electric vehicles, all meeting 21st century challenges. Our region’s commitment to the circular economy’s virtuous approaches and energy transition, with the production of green energy and the creation of heating networks, allows us to retain a position on the forefront, in response to serious economic breakdown situations. The Seine River Valley could become the European benchmark on new energies, supply chain management and the circular economy.
Based on added value associated with flows, Seine Gateway® will allow these economic activities to expand. This means rolling out a true logistics added value economic system, which boosts synergism between the supply chain, industries, distribution, commerce and other tertiary activities. The industrial future of the Seine River Valley is linked to the effectiveness of the supply chain and transport costs.

Focus on the Le Havre-Rouen industrial and port complex: a globally ranked clusterToday, “port supply corridors including industrial functions, R&D, services, the quality of life, port performance and supply chain connectivity are essential components in Port Industrial Zones.” (Port 2.0 Study - Y. ALIX, T. WILLEMSEN)
The Seine River Valley is characterised, from an economic point of view, by the Le Havre-Rouen industrial and port hubs, highly concentrated on the Le Havre industrial zones and Port-Jérôme.
The two largest ports represents 50.000 jobs in total (both port hub and industrial and services hub) and 1/5 of added value at Upper Normandy region scale.
The Industrial Port Zone model, in a gateway logic, must position itself as a new port attractiveness model (in a climate of innovations,) as well as a productive region targeting tomorrow’s key industrial sectors, such as all types of renewable energies.

Though ports on the Seine River Valley make up the 5th largest European port complex, the gap between Northern Range competing ports, in particular Antwerp and Rotterdam, is widening, for reasons that are not just linked to equipment and port performances. One element giving a response resides in hinterland strategies that these ports have implemented for years now, based on multiple mode corridors which include the entire chain of stakeholders, from the region itself up to the logistics provider.
Europe’s centre of gravity, historically located on the Rhine River, also known as the “Blue Banana”, has been gradually shifting towards the East, for the past few years. Countries such as Poland currently boast of the highest GDP growth rates in Europe. The western location of the Seine River Valley, far from these dynamic European region, poses the question of our connections with these areas.
In response to this challenge, our ambition must be to position Seine Gateway® and its ports as a pivotal region serving European hinterlands towards the East. This is a realistic ambition, as European Union forecasts estimate that freight traffic will grow by 80% by 2050. Ports in the Northern Range, meaning Antwerp
and Rotterdam, will not be able to absorb the upswing in traffic density alone, as their hinterlands are congested and infrastructure projects that are on-going or being studied will mitigate this situation, without however, being able to eliminate it.
Europe is thus looking for solutions to tackle an increase in its freight traffic, thus ensuring that the entire continent is well covered. The consolidation of the Le Havre - Paris corridor which will be enlarged towards the east towards Strasbourg and Mannheim is currently a high priority.
This convergence of local and European interests is an opportunity for the development of Seine Gateway®. One of the factors of its success lies upon the construction of a corridor strategy which will include the entire chain of stakeholders, both public and private. The objective is to make the hinterland a key player in port performance and vice versa. This strategy would be based on high priority investments, alliances between stakeholders as well as the importance of raising the corridor’s service levels to ensure its competitive advantage in the short, mid and long-terms.

“Thinking of ports as a
simple interface managing
flows to attract ships is a
thing of the past. (...) Supply
chain value streams are built
and taken down in just a few
years depending on demands
and the adaptability of
services offered. Ports are
no longer in the competition;
now corridors are competing.
These integrated systems
or gateways change the
paradigms of competition
between ports.”
