An outstanding geographical positionOpen 24 hours a day and occupying a strategic position between Northern and Southern Europe, Boulogne-sur-Mer is also a junction point for sea, land and rail connections and has the prime advantage of a rail network and direct link to the motorway via the A16 Port link road.
Located in the immediate vicinity of the busiest navigation channel in the world, at the junction between the Channel and the North Sea, the commercial port has high-performance fixed lifting equipment offering a quality service and large storage capacity, adapted to all types of traffic and enabling users to transit their goods at the port terminal in the best conditions.
The Port of Boulogne-sur-Mer is ranked among Europe’s top centres for the processing, distribution and commercialisation of Seafood Products.
With 380,000 tonnes coming in every year, the Seafood Products sector makes Boulogne-sur-Mer a major logistics platform.
A new Hub Port has been opened last September 2009. This Terminal is equipped with a very innovative Double Deck Ro-Ro linkspan to receive ROPAW up to 240m and high speed vessels.
