Port of Dieppe
Welcome to the Port of Dieppe
Port in the town, town in the port: the relationship between the port and the town is an intimate one. Situated halfway between London and Paris, at the heart of a dynamic regional economy, the Port of Dieppe offers a varied range of services carried out by teams who are very attached to their port:
- A cross-Channel line linking Dieppe to Newhaven in 4 hours, up to 4 times a day, for freight and tourist vehicles, operated by DFDS
- 82,000 m² of hardstanding adjacent to the quays and 25,000 m² of warehouse space
- 5 berths alongside with draughts of 6–12 m, accessible to vessels of up to 160 m long for dry bulk and industrial breakbulk
- Numerous lifting devices including 3 mobile cranes of 40, 60 and 120 tonnes
- A 7,500 m² area for ship repairs including a 360 tonne boat lift
- A very high-quality inshore fishing industry – quality label for scallops – and a fish market which processes on average 3,500 tonnes per year
- 530 berths in a 5-star marina in the heart of the town and 292 dry berths
A leading industrial port, Dieppe stands out for its expertise in the agri-food (Olatein) and naval (Padmos) sectors. Its strategic location, a stone's throw from the Dieppe – Le Tréport offshore wind farm and the future Penly EPR2 nuclear power plant, makes it a key player in major national energy projects.

Brief overview
The maintenance facility development is situated in the outer harbour, to the north of Gaston Lalitte quay. It comprises:
- A footprint of 4,800 m²

Brief overview
Registered as a historic monument in 2020, Colbert Bridge will be undergoing a complete restoration. Its structure, comprising a mixture of the original puddled steel and post-war steel, is in very poor condition and is going to be restored. We are also going to renovate its road surface and enlarge the pavements to give access to people with restricted mobility.
Civil engineering works are also planned: repairs to the paving of the bridge’s turning circle, restoration of the stairs, the travel stops and the top-section of the quay... as well as the restoration of the operator’s cabin and the renovation of the power station façade. Lastly, the operation includes installing lighting to illuminate the bridge at night.
Learn more about these historic works on the dedicated website!
Brief overview
The Arques flows through Dieppe and is one of the waterways which needs to have its ecological coherence ensured through the movement of sediment in sufficient quantities and the circulation of migratory fish.
Within the context of the Water Climate Territorial Contract (CTEC) in the Arques Basin, Ports of Normandy and the Syndicat Mixte du Bassin Versant de l’Arques (SMBVA) intend to study the impact of the flow-regulating structures and fish passes on fish fauna and more particularly the impact on the migratory movements of species such as the European eel and Atlantic salmon.
