Le Havre, France
France's energy gateway. We arrange crude freight, storage and inspection at the Antifer and Le Havre terminals.
Le Havre is France's main energy gateway. Two crude terminals, Antifer and Le Havre, supply the Normandy refineries, and a pipeline network carries products to the Paris region.
Antifer is a crude-only deep-water terminal with no restriction on vessel size or draft, taking laden tankers up to 550,000 tonnes. We arrange crude and product freight, storage and inspection.

Both crude terminals are run by CIM-CCMP, part of the Noven group. Antifer has 613,000 cubic metres in six tanks. The Le Havre terminal also stores about 1.8 million cubic metres of refined products and takes vessels of 25,000 to 250,000 tonnes.
