Oportunity Sets Its Sights on RoRo Traffic in Montoir
The Greater West port community collective Oportunity brought together stakeholders from the maritime, logistics and industrial sectors, along with its partners and local authorities, on 9 November in Saint-Nazaire to discuss the challenges and prospects of RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) activities.
New maritime connections, modernized infrastructure, and enhanced logistics solutions serving industry: the event highlighted the dynamism of the Montoir RoRo terminal and its contribution to the economic attractiveness of western France. Through a comprehensive service offering, the terminal supports companies' international trade activities and encourages the establishment of new businesses in the region.
On this occasion, executives from SOMALOIR, LD Armateurs, CWS, Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port, and the Union Maritime Nantes Ports (UMNP) shared updates on their activities, projects, and vision of the opportunities offered by a sector experiencing strong growth. From offshore, the crews of the Audace (Suardiaz) and the Neoliner Origin (Neoline) also emphasized the importance of collective commitment across the entire port community to efficiently support port calls and the development of new shipping services.
An Immersive Experience at the Heart of Port Operations
Prior to the evening event, a B2B port visit enabled business leaders to discover the port's infrastructure as well as its RoRo and container operations. Organized by the UMNP, the tour was enriched by presentations from Pilotes de la Loire, Chantiers de l’Atlantique, Everllence, and Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port. The initiative encouraged exchanges between companies and port stakeholders while opening up new prospects for collaboration.
Building on the success of this initiative, three additional B2B visits will be organized. These visits will offer companies the opportunity to discover port infrastructure, meet industry professionals, and identify new business development opportunities.
Oportunity is a joint initiative supported by the Pays de la Loire Regional Council, Saint-Nazaire Agglomeration, Nantes Métropole, Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port, the Nantes Saint-Nazaire Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), and the Union Maritime Nantes Ports (UMNP).
