A reflection of the regional economy
As a gateway to the metropolis and the Aquitaine region, Bordeaux Port offers access to the whole world for the resources and production of the South-West region.
In the service of its region, it is actively involved in building a low-carbon future through investments that break with the current model, which is still essentially based on hydrocarbon tonnages.
It brings together the various industrial players and local authorities to attract forward-looking industries focused on new energies and the ecological transition.
