Port of Calais bids to link UK with Europe

03 May 2013

A new logistics project in Calais, Calais Premier, construction of which is expected to start next year is set to provide a link for goods distribution between the United Kingdom and continental Europe.

This is the biggest logistics project in northern France, with a total surface area of 160 hectares. The chosen site is the industrial zone Turquerie, which stretches along the Calais-Dunkirk railway line and is ideally placed between Calais Port and the Channel Tunnel.

The first phase of the project, a surface area of 50 hectares, will commence in 2012 and is due for completion by 2013-2014. This first site will be dedicated to logistics activities and transport services, and is expected to have 220,000 sq m of logistics warehouses, 50,000 sq m of industrial parks, and 11,000 sq m of commercial property.

Initial contact has already been made with potential clients, in particular, suppliers in the automobile sector and British mass-market suppliers.
