Brest & Finistère

France's premier Atlantic naval port and a major hub for offshore, fishing, and maritime industry. The Finistère coast experiences some of the highest vessel traffic in Western Europe — a critical area for marine casualty response.

Lorient & Morbihan

France's leading fishing port by volume and home to a major French Navy base. The port also handles commercial cargo — timber, bulk, and oversized components for the offshore wind sector. A uniquely diverse port for marine surveying work.

Saint-Nazaire
