About This Seaport
Seven tanker berths define the freight profile of Donges (FR DON): three for crude imports, four for refined-product exports, handling over 400 tanker calls a year. On the southern bank of the Loire estuary, the port serves France's second-largest refinery — operated by TotalEnergies, processing around 11 million tonnes of crude annually with 2.2 million m³ of storage and producing nearly 20 percent of France's fuel output. In spring 2026 TotalEnergies commissioned the Horizon project (total investment EUR 450 million): a new desulphurisation unit and hydrogen production unit to comply with stricter EU low-sulphur fuel specifications. A planned grand arrêt (major scheduled shutdown, around EUR 105 million) ran from late April to late June 2026; in May 2026 the Loire-Atlantique prefecture issued a formal compliance notice for pipeline corrosion, with TotalEnergies committing to full remediation by end-2026. Hinterland distribution runs via road, rail loading depots and two product pipelines serving Rennes and central and eastern France as far as Melun and Metz. No containers, reefers or general cargo: those move through nearby Montoir-de-Bretagne.
