The import freight is reloaded by our teams on trucks.

We have particular expertise in using port and customs software and interfaces (SOGET, AP+).

Reception, tally

In Le Havre, Manucar carries out for GEFCO the reception, tally and preparation of goods.

We dispose tracking tools in order to scan vehicles before boarding and after landing via CODETRACK (CODEWAY) software.

To meet the demands of our customers, such as WWL, we use shipowners software in order to scan the units and to prepare the loading plans.

Heavy lift

We handle heavy lift for shipowners such as Jumbo, Mammoet or clients such as EDF and Total.

SOGENA is a member of grouping EOLHYD through its subsidiaries SHGT and Manucar. EOLHYD is specialised in stevedoring heavy lift.

« As part of the development of renewable marine energies, several port operators and stevedores of Normandy, Brittany and Loire have decided to join their forces in a new alliance.

Eolhyd regroups stevedores ATLANTIQUE MANUTENTION, located at Montoir and Saint-Nazaire, CHERBOURG MANUTENTION, based in Cherbourg , MARITIME KUHN (Saint-Malo, Brest, Concarneau, Lorient, Nantes, La Rochelle) and SOGENA (Caen , Le Havre, Dieppe...).

This partnership between stevedores allows to provide handling solutions in all ports listed above to groupments in charge of construction of French offshore wind farms.

The construction of wind or tidal turbine farms requires the significant use of port facilities and services : handling wind machines (blades, towers, turbines) and proposing logistical organisation to transport the equipment and components to centers of production and to offshore farm sites and also the support related to construction of offshore foundations. »
