Nantes is our base of operations. As a marine surveyor based in Nantes, we provide the fastest possible response to casualties, damage surveys, and P&I matters throughout the Loire estuary and the Nantes–Saint-Nazaire port complex — which ranks as France's second port by total tonnage.

The Port

The Nantes–Saint-Nazaire Port Complex

The Grand Port Maritime de Nantes–Saint-Nazaire handles over 30 million tonnes of cargo annually, covering hydrocarbons, LNG, chemical products, agribulk, containers, and general cargo. The estuary corridor connects Nantes and Saint-Nazaire — home to Chantiers de l'Atlantique, one of the world's foremost cruise shipyards — creating one of France's most strategically important maritime zones. Regular vessel types include tankers, bulkers, container ships, gas carriers, and heavy-lift vessels.
