Introduction

Supply chain for industry in in Dunkirk?

Steel bulk cargo, containers, energy materials: flows in Dunkirk are counted in millions of tonnes, and every day of demurrage or stock-out is costly. The arrival of gigafactories is profoundly reshaping the local logistics ecosystem — land, transport, labour. A typical assignment: a metals processor at the port significantly reduced its material inventory and demurrage costs by synchronising its maritime supply with its production plan (S&OP). We work across the whole coastline: Dunkirk, Calais, Saint-Omer, Gravelines.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Are you familiar with the specifics of port logistics?+
Yes: call scheduling, demurrage management, ship-inventory-production synchronisation, bulk versus container trade-offs. Industrial port supply chains require managing massive flows subject to maritime uncertainty — a specific skill set that we practise.
Do you work with the steel industry in Dunkirk?+
Steel is our historic ground. Ore and coke supply, strategic inventory, downstream flows to customers: we know these chains end to end.
Do the incoming gigafactories change the local picture?+
Profoundly: pressure on transport, logistics land and labour. Established manufacturers must secure their logistics capacity and rethink their networks. We build this new reality into our logistics master plans.
Do you cover the entire Hauts-de-France coastline?+
Yes: Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, Saint-Omer, Gravelines — and inland as far as Lille and Béthune. Assignments are organised with a regular on-site presence.
