  • Note De Synthèse N°115
    Note de Synthèse n°115 Mai 2009 Le Détroit du Pas-de-Calais Plus court passage avec l'Angleterre, le détroit du Pas de Calais constitue le plus important lien maritime de transbordement d’Europe avec 14 M de passagers et 2,5 M d'unités roulantes en 2008. Pourtant depuis quinze ans, la concurrence du tunnel sous la Manche représente une alternative conséquente, mais au final limitée en parts de marché à un tiers des flux. Si la concurrence modale a été intégrée dans le fonctionnement du marché du détroit, les différents changements de l’économie britannique affectent fortement les flux de passagers et de fret. Les compagnies doivent donc s’adapter à un flux massif et structuré, mais dont les à-coups provoquent régulièrement des ajustements de marché.
