Bunkering and provisioning

At HAROPA PORT, marine bunkering is managed by the Harbourmaster’s Offices of Le Havre and Rouen. The partners of France’s leading port are certified to ISO 9001 standard and provide these services during the time already taken up by commercial operations, thus reducing time spent in port. These services are available around the clock.

Le Havre : the last “service station before the motorway” 

Thanks to its proximity to the Total refinery, Port 2000 has become the ideal “service station” for supplies of bunker oil and diesel to all ships calling at Le Havre.
