    Just to add to the excellent info above:

    The Nord Pas de Calais Regional Council also owns the Port of Boulogne. As stated, the Opal Coast CCI has the concession to operate both ports. Eurotunnel wanted a share of this concession but have not heard any more about this.

    The Calais Port 2015 project backed by the Regional Council envisualises constructing a major extension of the port to seaward of the present port.

    Boulogne is saddled with a deserted hub port constructed at a cost of 45 million Euros in expectation of attracting ferry traffic which has not materialised. SpeedFerries went bankrupt, the fraudster John Paul Airs BGV's never happened, and LD Lines trial service to Dover was short lived.

    Dunkerque is state owned and has a massive LNG terminal under construction at Dunkerque West.
