The port of Calais occupies a strategic position at the heart of trade between France, the United Kingdom and continental Europe.
As Europe’s leading port for cross-Channel freight traffic and France’s leading passenger port, the Port of Calais is a key link in the mobility of people and the smooth flow of goods. Every year, it welcomes several million passengers, passenger vehicles and heavy goods vehicles, confirming its role as a major logistics hub.
Equipped with modern infrastructure, the port of Calais provides shipping companies, logistics operators and transporters with reliable, efficient and secure facilities.
As part of its commitment to sustainable development, the Port of Calais is committed to supporting the energy transition and promoting environmentally friendly solutions. It actively supports the development of piggyback transport by encouraging modal shift, and is fully involved in an ambitious project aimed at completely decarbonising cross-Channel crossings by 2030.
In addition to its cross-Channel terminals, the port of Calais also has a commercial port capable of accommodating a wide range of vessels, from small units to post-Panamax ships.
It consists of a platform dedicated to combined transport and a rail motorway platform.
Three different pools, including a floating pool, can accommodate activities. The terminals are multi-user.
