The new French tug company, Societe Nouvelle de Remorquage du Havre (SNRH), due to commence shiphandling operations in January, had still not started work at the beginning of May. A new tug fleet, chartered from Kotug in the Netherlands, remain idle in the face of endless legal difficulties and recently threats of industrial action by tugmen from the only rival fleet in the port, Les Abeille. The new SNRH fleet was put in place to coincide with the opening of the new Le Havre Port 2000 container complex.
