Port du Havre-Antifer

Port du Havre-Antifer is a deep-water terminal located along the Normandy coast designed to handle large cargo vessels. The facility includes storage tanks and modern loading infrastructure built to process liquid bulk cargo.

The terminal was built during the 1970s to handle growing petroleum transportation demands. Construction started in the early part of the decade and was completed several years later.

The port stands as a representation of French maritime engineering excellence, contributing to regional economic development through international trade connections.

The terminal sits in a protected bay with good access for large vessels. Visitors can view the site from outside, though public access to the facility itself is limited for safety reasons.

The terminal can accommodate vessels that are too large for other European ports. This makes it a crucial stop for particularly large tankers on international trade routes.
