Once an outport handling English wool, Gravelines lost its seaborne trade to Dunkerque after its harbour silted up centuries ago. Today commercial cargo for this stretch between Calais and Dunkerque is handled almost entirely by the neighbouring Grand Port Maritime de Dunkerque, while Gravelines itself centres on the Port Vauban marina and the fishing heritage of Grand-Fort-Philippe. For containers, bulk or RoRo, Dunkerque — France's third-largest port by tonnage — and the ferry port of Calais are the relevant gateways.
