Abstract
In the context of global freight flows and increased competition between ports, this article deals with the question how the Seine River Valley and its ports rate in the European geography of exchanges of saleable goods. It is discussed what transport infrastructures the Seine River Valley has and what opportunities will need to have to confront the stakes involved in development. The strategic position of Le Havre, the first importation port, upstream from the Pas-de-Calais strait and Paris’ natural maritime inbound port, raises the question of the intensification of East-West exchanges that logically will accompany the shift of Europe’s centre of gravity towards the East. The authors present what measure the Seine Gateway® constitutes an adapted response to massify the flows of freight in the Seine River Valley area and to enlarge its hinterlands.
