Bulk terminals
The commercial terminals in Boulogne-sur-Mer and Calais have the infrastructure, equipment and crane operators needed to handle small bulk cargoes.
The sites depend on the nature of the goods, the customer and operational criteria (size of the ship, etc.).
Calais offers the following facilities:
- The deep-water quay at the Henri Ravisse basin, accessible to Panamax vessels.
- The Carnot basin, a flood basin located behind the Carnot lock, is designed to accommodate bulk carriers of limited size (21-metre lock).
- Paul Devot Quay
Boulogne-sur-Mer offers the following facilities:
- The Quai de l’Europe and the adjacent medians, which may be subject to Temporary Occupancy Permits (AOT).
Agri-food terminal
Boulogne-sur-Mer is a Designated Point of Entry (DPE).
The Boulogne terminal handles various co-products (beet pulp, alfalfa pulp, oilseed meal) for import and export.
It has a flat silo with a capacity of 8,000 tonnes at the quayside, enabling it to handle agri-food traffic.
New car terminal
The port of Calais has maritime and rail transhipment infrastructure for new cars.
The storage sidings are connected to the railway network and have a combined terminal for train handling.
The terminal also has two RoRo gates, a deep-water quay and excellent road connections (A16/A26) for high-quality intermodal logistics.
The car terminal at the port of Calais is operated by the Charles André Group (GCA).
