The Gateway® Seine project was born from the observation that the rise of Paris and Île-de-France region has reached its limits in areas that are now theirs. The Seine Valley and the Norman coast may allow Paris to benefit from the quality of a territory in its natural extension , and especially the openness afforded port Le Havre Seine ports and coastline. This document provides the Seine Gateway® project and its progress through key data and maps. Consult the leaflet inside the post , a collection of four maps for better visualization of the issues : The logistico - industrial port system serving the maritime opening of Paris, Structuring Seine Gateway® by major infrastructure projects, The geostrategic position in Europe, The structuring of the corridor Le Havre - Mannheim.

1. Seine Gateway®
The Seine River Valley’s response to massify flows and
serve national and European hinterlands
marCH 2015
The beginnings of Seine Gateway
TheSeineGateway®
projectoriginatedwhenitwas
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 approach
SeineGateway®
istheSeineRiverValley’sstrategic
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) governance
In 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 a
regional project
In 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

2. 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.

3. 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 cluster
Today, “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.

TOWARDS ROLLING OUT
A CORRIDOR STRATEGY
Editor:AURH(LA,JD)–NA5771–March2015–Designandproduction: –www.pixell.fr–+33(0)235425265/Printing:LaPetitePresse-LeHavre-+33(0)235420562
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.”
