The extension will cost EUR 357mn (USD 426.56mn) and includes a new port basin, allowing ships up to 225 metres long and 36 m wide to dock and unload heavy packages. The port will be used to unload offshore wind turbines and the Port-la-Nouvelle will be a base for the EolMed and EFGL Engie offshore wind farms.
