Ranked among France's fifteen largest trading ports, it is a bulk specialist rather than a container facility. Agri-food bulk — chiefly soya and sunflower-cake animal feed — is the leading import, alongside hydrocarbons, marine sand, cement, pig iron, china clay, wood pulp and occasional project cargo.
