A CEI for the Use of the Éole Assembly Platform

To take this industrial and port-based project a step further and to drive the conditions for its success, Nantes ‒ Saint Nazaire Port wishes to launch a call for expressions of interest (CEI) in order to question all the industrial players potentially interested, directly or indirectly, in an extraordinary infrastructure dedicated to the MRE sector, similar to that planned for the Éole project.

• This phase is essential to the further expansion of the MRE sector. The aim of this initiative is therefore to generate interest and reactions from any company or group wishing to:
  • develop initiatives on the Loire Estuary with a view to engaging in industrial or logistics activities, particularly in the marine renewable energy (MRE) sector;
  • express the need for a "standard" infrastructure such as that planned for the Éole project (including real estate, quayside facilities, storage facilities on the body of water, a service pontoon, etc.) to develop its business on site;
  • launch projects relating to fixed-foundation or floating offshore wind farms or to other types of marine energy;
  • develop projects linked to existing activities in the Saint Nazaire industrial and port activity zone;
  • express their needs in relation to projects requiring proximity to the quayside or the use of the body of water for industrial and logistics activities;
  • develop and produce any other MRE-related opportunities or innovations.
• The CEI dossier may be obtained in electronic form at the following address: ami-eole@nantes.port.fr

Interested industrial players are advised to identify themselves when they obtain their CEI dossier, so that they can then receive any subsequent notifications concerning this call for expressions of interest, including any amendments or answers to questions from other industrial players who express an interest.

Each interested industrial player or grouping may express their interest by submitting the response dossier no later than 30th December 2024 at 12 p.m. (GMT +02:00), to the following address: ami-eole@nantes.port.fr
