PRESENT SITUATION OF THE RAILWAYS IN NORMANDY
Fastest time from Paris since 2009
CCI CHERBOURG COTENTIN – August 2014 13
RAIL, SEA AND LAND
At the moment, the railway links Cherbourg to
Paris in 2h46. The project of a fast rail service
would reduce the journey time to under 2h30. The
Basse-Normandie region has also set up the Plan
Rail 2020 which has for objective to define the
railway network of tomorrow.
The commercial port of Cherbourg is a
deepwater port, which allows access to all vessels
up to a draft of 13 meters. It is open 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, with direct access to the
quays, with no locks. The commercial port is
owned by the joint regional association, Ports
Normands Associés (PNA). It has given
management responsibility to SAS Port de
Cherbourg for Channel activity.
Early 2013, a new company named SPEC was
created to facilitate the arrival of marine renewable
energy.
From Cherbourg there are car ferry links with
England, (Poole and Portsmouth), and Ireland
(Rosslare and Dublin). Freight links are also
ensured to Poole and Rosslare.
With the storage and multi-purpose lifting
capacities, Cherbourg can offer adaptable
solutions for most sorts of traffic : bulk and dry
conventional traffic, heavy loads, dangerous
products and refrigerated products.
The airport at Maupertus, located 11km from
Cherbourg offers mainly charter flights, 18 flights
are scheduled in 2012.
CCI CHERBOURG COTENTIN – August 2014 14
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
The digital development of the Manche and the
Cotentin is backed by the joint association Manche
Numérique. Digital coverage in the department is
particularly well advanced, the Manche is a model
example on a national scale:
99,92% of the population is covered by
broadband
95% of households in the Manche are
unbundled subscribers
240 Wifi sites, the biggest Wifimax network
in Europe
26,000 households connectable to fibre
optics and very fast internet connections,
mainly in the Cherbourg and St.Lô districts
Finally, local developments are underway to
promote the use of bicycles for journeys from
home to work, home to place of study and leisure
and tourism. The Basse-Normandie region has
launched a charter to boost the development and
use of the bicycle in Basse-Normandie. It aims
notably to create cycle tracks to promote this
method of transport.
The Manche department’s cycle plan has the same
objectives.

AN INDUSTRIALIZED AREA
The economic fabric of the Cherbourg district is
marked by the presence of four major companies
representing nearly 20% of local private sector
employment : Areva NC, DCNS, EDF Flamanville
and the dairies of Maîtres Laitiers du Cotentin.
The economy of the area is mainly built around the
energy and shipbuilding sectors. These 4
establishments provide subcontracted work for
numerous other industrial or service-industry
companies.
The presence of these contractors has allowed for
the acquisition of high level skills and
knowledge in the nuclear, shipbuilding and
engineering industries.
Other sectors have also developed such as a
strong boating activity, design and engineering
as well as information and communication
technologies, both backed by the major energy
and shipbuilding establishments.
It is also important to note the agro-industry
sector, mainly represented by Les Maîtres Laitiers
du Cotentin and the sector of marine-agro-
industry, backed by the fishing industry and
companies marketing and processing seafoods.

SECTORS AND CLUSTERS
3 SECTORS
Three main sectors are represented in the
Cotentin:
The nuclear sector with the association
Nucléopolis
The nautical & marine sector with the
association F2N
The seafoods sector
Nucléopolis, Norman hub of nuclear sciences and
applications, groups together about fifty members
of which the 3 Cotentin contractors (Areva NC,
EDF and DCNS) small and medium enterprises of
the sector and training and research organizations.
The sector objective is “to make Basse-Normandie
the European leader in the field of fundamental
and applied nuclear sciences by building on the
skills and knowledge of the companies, of regional
training and research”.
The Normandy nautical & marine sector, F2N,
has nearly 100 members. Its aim is to bring marine
professionals closer together and to promote the
development of nautical industries in Basse-
Normandie. F2N was the winner in 2011 of the
call for projects « Grappe d’entreprises » of the
Ministry of agriculture, food, fisheries, rural affairs
and territorial development.
Fishing is also an important part of the economy
in the Cotentin. The seafood sector is organized
around the Cherbourg Fish Auction, managed by
the Cherbourg Cotentin Chamber of Commerce.
The shipowners’ cooperative (CAPAM), the
professional associations and federations, training
organizations and companies of the sector
complete the industry.
CCI CHERBOURG COTENTIN – August 2014 19
AWAITING THE RME
Finally, the renewable marine energy sector is
full of promise with the building of an Alstom plant
on the port of Cherbourg for the manufacture of the
blades and masts for the offshore windfarms. The
installation of tidal turbines is also planned in the
Raz Blanchard, one of the strongest currents in
Europe, located between the Cap de la Hague and
Alderney. A call for expression of interest was
issued in 2013 for the construction of pilot farms.
Besides these major sectors, there are several
clusters, consortiums, clubs and networks in
the Cotentin :
AISCO (Association of industries and
services for complex systems)
Sotraban (Association of sub-contractors
of Basse-Normandie)
Novimage (3D imaging and virtual reality)
GECO (Employers’ alliance of the
Cotentin)
Other clubs and networks exist in the sectors of
commerce, tourism, services and industry; a list is

QUALITY OF LIFE
NOT SO RAINY
Well-known for its umbrellas, Cherbourg is
however, far from being the rainiest town in
France. It is quite arid compared to the annual
rainfall of 1,482mm in Biarritz.
Concerning the hours of sunlight, only 10 sunny
days separate us from Nantes or Biarritz, 6 from
Paris… To which we can add a “good to very
good” quality of air according to Air C.O.M.
which keeps an eye on the quality of air in Basse-
Normandie.
