France Port du Havre -Catène de Container-

Catène de Container is a sculpture in Le Havre, France.
The sculpture is prominently located near the entrance to the port of Le Havre. Created in 2017 by Vincent Ganivet to mark the port's 500th anniversary, it consists of colored shipping containers arranged in two arches. One of the arches, composed of 21 containers, is high and steep, bridging a smaller flat arch composed of 15 containers. The shape and color of the containers give the impression of using large building blocks.
The sculpture weighs a total of 288 tons and reaches a height of 28.5 meters. It manages without supports and uses the principle of the catenary used by the architect Antoni Gaudí, whereby the forces and tensions within a chain are used for support.
The name Catène de Container goes back to the Latin word Catène for chain and means something like container chain in German. It is a double allusion to the construction principle used in the chain and to the supply chain, which also includes the containers and ultimately the port.
The inauguration took place on May 27, 2017. Due to its unusual shape, size and striking location, the sculpture quickly became a landmark in Le Havre.

The work of art can be photographed well when the sky is overcast. There are then no hard drop shadows.

From the city center (Place General de Gaulle), the port is within easy walking distance (approx. 20 minutes).
