In the case of Port 2000 Le Havre, not only the economical and functional requirements, but also environmental issues were taken into account. The construction was executed in phases to minimize the ecological effects on the estuary. Compensation measures were taken to mitigate environmental effects or even enhance the ecosystem.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
