DUNKIRK: FIRST TERRITORY WITH 2 CHOOSE FRANCE INDUSTRIAL TURNKEY SITES

Major Industries Area (ZGI).

Located on port land, the Major Industries Area (ZGI) is a “turnkey site” consisting of 125 ha. Already operational, it is intended for large industrial projects. The Major Industries Area (ZGI) is located in the immediate vicinity of the drinking and industrial water networks, gas network and fibre optic network and has exceptional electricity connection capacities. The Grand Port Maritime of Dunkirk is getting ready for the territory’s energy transition by developing new activity areas dedicated to decarbonisation while preparing the networks linked to future needs (hydrogen, water and electricity). Dunkirk Port is currently working on the eastward extension of this activity area, which will eventually double its surface area.

Dunkirk International Logistics (DLI):

The Dunkirk International Logistics (DLI) site has a 150 ha surface area, located near the container and ferry terminals. The DLI site is also suitable for the storage of both dry goods and temperature-controlled goods. It benefits from an excellent connection to the motorway network with the A16/E40, the A25 and the A26, to the river port via the future Seine-Nord Europe Canal, and, of course, to the rail network.
