About This Seaport
On the southern coast of Brittany, the commercial port of Kergroise gives the city of Lorient its cargo function, handling about 2.6 million tonnes in 2024 (typically 2.2 to 3 million a year). 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. Three rapid unloaders and five quayside cranes serve about 150,000 tonnes of warehousing along the 656-metre multipurpose quay. Hinterland links run by road and rail across Brittany, with trucking carrying most volumes. Lorient is also one of France's foremost fishing ports at Keroman, an activity kept separate from commercial freight. For containerised shipments, forwarders rely on Nantes-Saint-Nazaire or Le Havre.
