Dunkirk's comprehensive port occupies the strengths of French ports: Dunkirk is a deep-water seaport. Dunkirk port is backed by France and Europe's large-scale steel, energy, shipbuilding, textile and other industries. It has always been a comprehensive port. From traditional metal, pipeline and timber cargo terminals, sugar cargo terminals to grains, steel, coal, lime, sintered ore, ferroalloys, petrochemical liquids, containers, trailers, etc., Dunkirk Port almost encompasses traditions As with all types of modern transportation, no matter from the past or the present, its port operations are complete, which is difficult for many emerging ports in the world to reach. 　　

At present, the Port of Dunkirk has 18 professional terminals and a logistics park, including considerable storage facilities for freezing and refrigerating food, hydrocarbons, chemicals, grains, etc. In 2008, despite the impact and influence of the financial crisis, Dunkirk Port still completed a trade cargo throughput of 57.7 million tons, setting a record high for the seventh consecutive year. The throughput growth rate of petroleum products was 3%, or 13.5 million. Tons; 13 million tons of ore transportation; coal transportation rose 2% to 9.7 million tons. Grain transportation increased by 44% to 1.1 million tons. Other goods continued to rise and reached a record high of 16 million tons, an increase of 3%. With the successive opening of two container liner routes to and from Asia, the completed container throughput exceeded 21.5 TEUs in 2012, a year-on-year increase of 9%. Building a node port for the Asia-Europe container liner route: Among the large, medium and small ports in France, the efficient operation of Dunkirk port has made Dunkirk the only large port without strikes in France. The port cargo throughput has maintained rapid growth for many years. 　　

At present, three of the seven major French ports have become important node ports for the world's top ten shipowners to open up Asia-Europe liner routes. They are also the ports with the most Sino-French maritime and logistics connections. In June 2008, CMA CGM announced and realized its FAL 3 (France-Asia route) liner call at Dunkirk Port. In September of the same year, when Maersk Line resumed its AE10 liner route from the Far East to Europe, Dunkirk Port was also used as a node port for container liners to call each week. 　　

The strengthening of Dunkirk Port’s ties and cooperation with China’s shipping industry is one of Dunkirk’s strategic goals for becoming a global port. In late October 2008, Dunkirk Port NFTI Container Terminal Co., Ltd. sent Shanghai Zhenhua Port to Shanghai Zhenhua Port. The two super-Panamax gantry cranes ordered by the aircraft are installed in place. These two cranes and the three existing cranes of the same model at the port have greatly improved the port’s container handling capacity and ensured that the world’s largest container ship with a width of 23 rows is in Dunkirk Port loading and unloading. In the next few years, Dunkirk Port will actively promote the strategy of strengthening the port, speed up the development and construction of port terminals, and enhance the port’s competitiveness in the global market.
