Port of Le Havre Reports Rise

In Traffic

As of June 30, the Port of Le

Havre Authority reported a rise in traffic for the first half of 1996, as compared with statistics from the first six months of 1995. A 6.6 per- cent rise in volume over last year was recorded.

This increase is due to the rise in crude oil traffic and to the increase in other fuel products, including exports of refined products as well as a strong rise of coal imports which have nearly doubled, reach- ing approximately one million tons for the first six months of this year.
