Port du Havre-Antifer, Oil terminal in Saint-Jouin-Bruneval, France

Port du Havre-Antifer is a deep-water oil terminal in Saint-Jouin-Bruneval, about 20 km north of Le Havre. A 3,500-metre circular breakwater encloses the mooring basin. On land, a white multi-storey building with a tower stands near storage tanks, including a red-and-white cylindrical tank and a white one, beside a fenced dark rectangular area and a cluster of blue containers.

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 name Antifer comes from the cap d'Antifer beside the site, where the hydrographer Jacques-Élie Lamblardie had already proposed a port in 1782. The terminal was inaugurated on 25 June 1976 with the christening of the Batillus, a 554,000-tonne tanker then the largest in the world. The circular 3,500-metre breakwater enclosing the basin is visible from the coastal path.

The terminal lies in the commune of Saint-Jouin-Bruneval, about 20 km north of Le Havre and south of Étretat, reached from the coast road. It is an active oil port with a fenced perimeter, so the basin, the 3,500 m circular breakwater and the storage tanks are seen from outside; the cliff-top at Cap d'Antifer gives the widest view.

The terminal's basin was designed for tankers up to 500 m long and 90 m wide with a draught of 35 m, roughly 550,000 tonnes deadweight. A 3,500 m circular breakwater encloses the mooring basin. The site also holds 640,000 m³ of storage and links by a 26 km pipeline to the CIM oil facilities at Le Havre.
