La Rochelle's expertise
For several years now, Port Atlantique La Rochelle has demonstrated its capacity to handle a wide range of goods, and in particular heavy cargo, the tonnage of which has increased steadily: 48,406 tonnes in 2023.
► The heavy cargo sector includes the following goods: turbines, coils, ships and recreational catamarans.
► Each good requires specific handling and adapted storage, both of which are now part and parcel of La Rochelle's expertise.
At the Anse Saint-Marc terminal, work is underway to build a new 250-metre quay for heavy cargo, along with a 6-hectare platform.
The Maritime Kuhn group, one of La Rochelle’s leading operator in this sector, is known for its expertise in heavy cargo.
