Brittany Ferries anchors the seaward end of Caen-Ouistreham, running up to three daily sailings to Portsmouth from Ouistreham and carrying accompanied RoRo freight to England. The commercial cargo port itself sits about 15 km inland at Caen, reached through the Caen Canal. Throughput centres on dry bulk and conventional cargo: cereals, animal feed and fertilizers lead, alongside coal, scrap iron exported to Spain, clinker and timber, with a 33,000-tonne silo on site. The port moves roughly 500,000 to 635,000 tonnes a year and takes ships up to about 30,000 tonnes and 9 m draught. Container line services are not part of the profile; boxes route through Le Havre. Road and rail connect the Normandy hinterland, and the port is well placed for regional grain exports. For containers choose Le Havre; for large grain parcels, Rouen is also close.
