Policy orientation and sustainable development masterplan

The port of Gennevilliers has put in place a policy orientation and sustainable development masterplan (SODD) to support its development within the constraints of environmental and economic requirements. Initiated in 2011 by HAROPA PORT / Paris Territorial Department, this document has been drafted in conjunction with local stakeholders (local government bodies, economic actors and non-profit associations, companies based at the port, among others).

Port users benefit from several bus services connecting with line  C of the express metro (RER) and Paris metro (Gennevilliers station) and SNCF national railways (Colombes-le-stade station).

An internal Gennevilliers port bus service has been set up and connects to all main locations on the multimodal platform. This service, which is run by Paris public transport (RATP), offers three distinct circular routes from Monday to Friday, 6 a.m.  to 6 p.m.
