SDV Logistique Internationale recently signed a preliminary agreement for the construction of a warehouse on the Parc Logistique du Pont de Normandie 2 (PLPN2) platform at the Port of Le Havre.
This project is divided into two successive construction stages: the first stage involves a surface area of 24,000m2, followed by an additional 12,000m2 for the second stage. At completion, SDV, which already operates several warehouses in the PLPN1 zone, will benefit from a total surface area of 75,000m2 for its transport and logistics activities at the Port of Le Havre. Delivery of the building is forecast for October 2016.
SDV has announced this expansion program. Based at PLPN1 at the Port of Le Havre since 2001, it was one of the first private logistics providers to open operations in the zone. According to Henri Le Gouis, SDV CEO of the Western Europe area, "this new warehouse represents a total investment of $34 million. It further underlines our commitment to supporting the growth of the Port of Le Havre".
A new Reefer offering of 5,000 sq. m.
In a bid to stay abreast of market changes and its customers' need, the PLPN2 warehouse will provide "dry" goods storage. This will allow SDV to vacate and develop a large 5,000m2 area solely dedicated to Reefer logistics in the PLPN1 zone.
With France preparing to host the 21st UN Climate Change Conference, environmental issues are more pertinent than ever for the Bolloré Group. The future warehouse, which will be located right next to the new multi-modal terminal at Le Havre, will be certified LEEDv4 and BiodiverCity.
