Logistics hub – Petit-Couronne port terminal – Rouen

Logistics hub in Rouen

The Petit-Couronne port terminal is situated in the heart of the Rouen metropolitan area, on the banks of the Seine.

The logistics hub, which manages freight flows for the Port of Rouen, offers approximately 20 ha of industrial land for sale to accommodate and support the development of industrial and/or service sector businesses.

Accessibility of the logistics hub

In addition to the maritime logistics hub located within the Greater Port of Rouen (Le Havre entrance), a port logistics hub is situated on the banks of the River Seine, within the Port of Rouen (Petit-Couronne port terminal).

The Port of Rouen’s port terminal benefits from: 

• A daily river service to the ports of Paris and Le Havre
• A direct rail link to Paris and the Île-de-France region
• An exceptional motorway network: the A16–A28 (Calais–Lille–Alençon), the A29 (Reims–Amiens) and the A13 (Caen–Paris)

Features of the logistics hub

The Port of Rouen occupies a strategic position within the French port system.

As a maritime and inland waterway, the Seine allows seagoing vessels to sail as far as Rouen, 80 km inland. The ‘Boucles de la Seine’ area and its locks then take over to transport freight on to Paris.

• A 630-metre quay
• A draught of up to 11 metres
• 3 fixed cranes, including 2 Caillard 12/35 t cranes and 1 high-reach, high-capacity Mague crane (40 t at 26 m; 28 t at 40 m – quay-side)
• Yard areas: 3 ha alongside the quay
• Rail sidings: 5 tracks
• River access for pushed convoys of 4,400 t
• Quick motorway access via the Sud III
