On Thursday 9 january, Port Boulogne Calais took a groundbreaking step towards achieving carbon neutrality for the Calais-Dover link by 2035.

In partnership with Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE), the port will be connected to the high-voltage power grid, enabling the future operation of 100% electric vessels. This makes Calais the first port in the world to offer a charging capacity of 100 MW, capable of recharging up to three vessels simultaneously (20-35 MW per ship) in just 45 minutes.
