Around 60,000 tonnes of cargo cross Granville's commercial quays each year, mostly construction materials and aggregates, making freight a modest sideline to fishing at this tidal Norman port on the English Channel. Granville is France's leading shellfish port: scallops, whelks and clams dominate landings, with the coquille Saint-Jacques alone worth over €8.7 million. A small cargo ferry also links Granville with Jersey twice weekly, carrying mainly building materials in loads of about 100 tonnes. Passenger traffic is brisk too, with ferries to the Chausey islands and the Channel Islands handling nearly 200,000 travellers a year. Tide gates keep the basin workable through the large local tidal range, and a graving dock serves smaller vessels. For containerised or larger RoRo consignments, Cherbourg, Caen-Ouistreham and Le Havre are the nearest options.
