About This Seaport
Around 8.38 million tonnes moved across La Pallice in 2024, ranking it France's sixth-largest seaport and the commercial harbour of La Rochelle on the Bay of Biscay. Operated under UN/LOCODE FR LPE by the Grand Port Maritime de La Rochelle, the site offers deep-water quays up to 14 m, four grain silos totalling 300,000 tonnes and two loaders that fill ships of up to 120,000 tonnes. Its cargo mix is firmly bulk and breakbulk: cereal exports, imports of logs and wood pulp – La Pallice is Europe's leading log-import port – petroleum products at a terminal handling tankers up to 250 m, and heavy-lift traffic of nearly 149,000 tonnes in 2024. Container line services are marginal, so full-container shipments are better routed via Nantes-Saint-Nazaire or Le Havre. Hinterland reach combines motorways with the dedicated rail network of OFP La Rochelle toward central France. For grain, forest products and project cargo on the French Atlantic coast, La Pallice is a first-choice port.
