# Pointe de Floride cruise-terminal redevelopment, Le Havre Publisher: CapexCue Canonical dossier: Dossier reference: release 1 (f6274689-67bd-4e4f-974a-bbf3e96c57a1) Released project intelligence Oldest supporting observation: 2026-10-05T12:59:18.654380+00:00 Dossier released: 2026-10-15T18:11:23.019306+00:00 Source report dates and capture dates are listed per fact below; neither establishes an event date. ## Project summary Pointe de Floride cruise-terminal redevelopment, Le Havre. The scheme described in the November 2023 environmental opinion included rebuilding Terminal 1, adapting hangars 12 and 13 for Terminals 2 and 3, and associated mobility, landscape, access-road and parking works. The June 2025 modification application reported changes to the building footprint, wastewater arrangements and other design details. The environmental authority reported that works had started in mid-2024, but the reviewed dossier supplied no progress report or monitoring results for work already undertaken. It concluded that the changes did not alter its earlier environmental-impact conclusions and that an updated impact study was not needed for the permit modification. It also drew attention to missing environmental measures and follow-up information in the original permit and requested that the specified elements be annexed to the modified authorization. ## Evidence limits and unknowns - The June 2025 application is described, but the reviewed pages do not establish whether the modified building permit was subsequently issued or whether the specified elements were annexed to it. - The reviewed dossier gave no progress report or monitoring results for work already undertaken; current construction status, remaining work and completion date are not established. - The reviewed pages do not identify a contractor, procurement packages, financier or purchasing entity. Current purchasing availability: unknown. Source-dated plans do not establish current progress or available supplier packages. ## Project metadata Country: France Region: Europe Physical assets: Seaport Derived from the exact released evidence; unresolved fields remain unclassified. ## Project category Transport and logistics Derived from the reviewed scope statement; delivery stage remains unclassified. The scheme described at the November 2023 environmental opinion comprised demolition of hangars 1–3 and reconstruction of Terminal 1; partial rehabilitation and extension of hangars 12 and 13 for Terminals 2 and 3; secured pedestrian and cycling links to the existing greenway; landscaped areas including the Grande Valleuse; public access to the site tip and Terminal 1 roof outside cruise-call periods; access roads and parking. Terminal 3 was intended to serve quay Joannès Couvert and enable more frequent triple calls. The described project covered 9.2 ha within an approximately 14 ha perimeter, with 27,600 m² for new terminals, 35,000 m² of new green or landscaped space and 28,400 m² for mobility; the existing built area was stated as 35,200 m². The scheme included 62 bus spaces by Terminals 2 and 3 and 35 by Terminal 1. In the June 2025 modification application, the revised building footprint was 19,114 m², 46 m² above the initial footprint; maximum building height increased by up to 1.12 m, to 16.72 m at Terminal 1. Covered car-parking numbers increased by four and road-side spaces decreased by eight, with 266 car spaces in total; heavy-vehicle short-stop spaces decreased by one in the restricted area at each terminal and increased by one on the east road, with 85 in total. External works changed in three areas totalling less than 100 m², with no stated change to levels, heights, planting or material types. The non-collective wastewater system was consolidated in hangar 12, except for a 4-equivalent-habitant mini-station near the car-rental area; capacity was unchanged, and a wastewater pumping main between terminals was added. The application also reported a 247 kVA reduction in required electrical power, to 1,630 kVA, without explanation; changes to technical and service rooms, fire-safety and public-access provisions, maximum occupancies, and accessibility arrangements. The dossier said the project programme and objectives, traffic assumptions, landscape project, avoidance/reduction/compensation measures, and bicycle and motorcycle parking were unchanged. The 27,600 m² terminal figure and the later 19,114 m² building-footprint figure are different reported measures and are not treated as directly comparable.

The project-owner response discussed two wastewater-treatment stations to better manage peaks in use; the later design instead consolidated the system as described in the scope. The authority noted that the monitoring presented covered biodiversity only and did not address its recommendation to extend monitoring to all project issues and measures. It also reported that the file contained no feedback on work already carried out or results of associated monitoring.

The project-owner response said triple calls already occurred, then limited to about ten days per year, and that the project would not increase the number of ships present simultaneously or daily attendance; it nevertheless described annual cruise calls increasing from 131 in 2019 to 240 with the project. On transport access, the project-owner response considered the site adequately served and did not propose additional project works, while also acknowledging that dedicated public-transport service could be improved and referring to a community mobility plan expected in 2024.

A building permit was issued on 11 April 2024. The later file concerned an 11-page application for a modified building permit, dated June 2025. The authority considered the design changes minor or marginal and concluded that the project’s earlier environmental-impact conclusions were not changed, so the impact study did not need to be updated for that permit modification. It also noted that the original permit did not include the project’s avoidance, reduction and compensation measures or provisions for following them, and that the missing work feedback and follow-up information did not guarantee effective consideration of the environment and human health. This is a review of a permit modification, not evidence that the project was cancelled or that the modified permit was issued.
