Extension work carried out by Bouygues Travaux Publics will make it possible to double the current capacity of Port de Calais due to the construction of a new dock facing the sea north of the existing port facilities which also complies with the environmental requirements of the site.

The project’s design is in line with commitments to conserve the animal and plant life made by the Hauts-de-France region to the National Council for the Protection of Nature. It includes the creation of a quiet area for birds and an observatory to watch the birdlife.
