Understanding the economic and regional significance of Pointe des Galets Port
Pointe des Galets Port is a crucial component of Reunion's maritime infrastructure, promoting trade, supporting local economies, and facilitating sustainability within the vibrant environment of the island. The port offers a cargo terminal. Chosen in 1872 as the site for Reunion's first real harbour, Pointe des Galets was built from 1879 by a workforce of over 15,000 under a concession tied to the island's sugar-cane trade and inaugurated in 1886, though not yet fully complete. For a century it handled all of the island's port operations, shipping sugar to mainland France and drawing the workers and families who made Le Port the island's leading industrial town.
