Roscoff Driver Service
Professional driver service in Roscoff, Brittany Ferries port to the UK and Ireland. Major centre for food-grade seaweed with AlgoPlus and marine research with the CNRS biological station.
Roscoff, a small maritime town of 3,500 inhabitants on the north coast of Finistère, occupies a strategic position in Franco-British exchanges and European oceanographic research. The port of Roscoff, modernised in the 1970s, hosts Brittany Ferries vessels linking Brittany to Plymouth in England (6 to 8 hours crossing) and Cork in Ireland (15 to 18 hours crossing). These maritime links carry hundreds of thousands of passengers annually and are one of the main tourist axes between Atlantic France and the British Isles. Roscoff's economic identity also relies on the production and processing of marine seaweed. AlgoPlus, European leader in food-grade seaweed based in Roscoff, exploits about ten species of Breton seaweed (sea lettuce, dulse, kombu, wakame, nori) marketed as flakes, leaves or tartare to Japan, Korea, the United States and across Europe. This activity is part of a centuries-old tradition of seaweed harvesting in Roscoff. Several other seaweed companies (CEVA, Saliae, Olmix Algues) complete this unique ecosystem. The Roscoff biological station, founded in 1872 by Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers and now attached to CNRS and Sorbonne University, is one of the world's oldest and largest marine research centres. Several hundred researchers conduct work on marine biodiversity, marine genomics and blue biotechnologies. 15 minutes by boat from the port, Batz Island attracts visitors with its Georges Delaselle garden hosting exotic plants made possible by the oceanic microclimate. FJ13 offers a driver service adapted to these varied flows from Brest, Morlaix or BES airport.
