Fishing port of Keroman

The Fishing port of Lorient-Keroman (Breton: Porzh-pesketa an Oriant-Keroman) is a French fishing port in Lorient, a district of the same name. It is owned by the Brittany region and managed by a public-private partnership in which Lorient Agglomération is the majority shareholder. Since 2014, it has been the foremost French fishing port in terms of value and the second most productive French fishing port in terms of catch volume. Construction of the port began in the 1920s under the 200 million franc law, which sought to enhance the capabilities of the French fishing fleet. Its development was temporarily halted by the advent of the Second World War and the construction of the Lorient Submarine Base nearby. Following the conclusion of hostilities, the facility resumed its growth trajectory, yet it was subjected to a series of recurring crises from the late 1970s to the late 1990s. The port's primary activities include fishing and seafood processing. The port's fleet operates along the coastal waters of Lorient and extends to the northern seas of Scotland. Additionally, shipbuilding and repair are conducted on-site, along with various service activities. On occasion, the site is also used for cultural activities, such as the "Night of the Fishing Port" event held during the Lorient Interceltic Festival.
