The cross channel link

The aim of the cross-Channel port of Boulogne-sur-Mer is to accommodate fast ships.
2 stations equipped with connecting walkways allow 110-metre long, 30-metre wide fast ships to be accommodated.

Loading & unloading : The landing facilities used by fast ferries are fitted with a double traffic lane ending in a 20 meter wide pontoon, adjustable from 2 to 6 metres above water level. On arrival, passengers will be able to park outside the terminal for a hassle free visit of Boulogne-sur-Mer.

A fast link: at 86 metres long, the boat that does the crossing, in an actual time of 50 minutes, is one of the second generation of wave-cutting catamarans. It provides 3 to 6 turn-rounds a day, according to the season, with a loading capacity of 800 passengers and 200 vehicles. For the increased comfort of its passengers, capacity is limited to 560. Benefiting from a flexible and reasonable Internet payment system, three categories are offered: “family” class, first class and business class.
