Honfleur (FRHON)

The port comprises river berths, a wet basin entered through a large lock in the entrance channel, leading to inner locks and wet basins. Bassin de Retenue, or Bassin de Chasses, at the root of the E jetty, holds water which is used to sluice the entrance channel. Sluicing does not take place when the entrance lock is in use. The port is subject to silting and frequent dredging takes place. Cargo handling facilities are provided at the river berths, East Dock and Carnot Dock. The main cargoes handled are fuel, bulk fertiliser and wood. Fishing boats and yachts are also handled.

An anchorage is available at La Carosse Roads where draught is approx 10m salt water at LW. The anchorage is exposed to NNW winds, the holding ground is good.

The port is approached from Chenal du Rouen, at the E end of Digue du Ratier, and entered through a large lock in the middle of an entrance channel between two high jetties. A channel, 100m wide between two high jetties, leads to the entrance lock. A light (green pylon, 8m in height) is exhibited from the head of the W jetty and another light (pylon N cardinal, 8m in height) is exhibited from the head of the E jetty; Honfleur Radar stands close to the head of this latter jetty. The lock, which is about 40m long and 23m wide, permits passage of vessels of less than 36m in length. Vessels of more than 36m in length must wait for HW slack to enter with both gates open. The lock operates throughout 24 hours except when sluicing is taking place. Entrance takes place on the hour and the departure on the half hour.
