News & Links News Links FAST, experienced port partner in wind energy In 2013, we orchestrated the stopovers and unloading of 7 merchant ships that came to unload land-based wind turbine components (blades, nacelles and towers) in our port. In the end, last year we contributed to the port passage of fifteen complete wind turbines at the commercial port of La Rochelle Pallice. At the start of 2014, three other vessels have already been operated by our services, which corresponds to eleven other wind turbines. We are soon expecting three other ships (scheduled for August) which will bring the number of wind turbines in transit through our port to sixteen machines for the current year. It is only after having imagined the vision of an onshore wind farm equipped with so many machines that one becomes fully aware of the responsibility and the experience required for all of these port handling operations. Our customers trust us and know that their wind turbines are, with us and thanks to our expertise, in good hands. Legal Notice / Contact

WHO WE ARE: History History Activities Location FAST, a shipping agency and stevedore at the Autonomous Port of La Rochelle - Pallice, was created in 1997. Motivated by the demand of various clients (Shipowners, Importers, Receivers) active in the forest products industry, the arrival of FAST on the commercial port had a double objective: - Offer customers of the Autonomous Port of La Rochelle - Pallice a multiple possibility in the choice of its representative and / or its stevedore. - Offer its customers a new trend for their port operations in La Pallice, both qualitatively and competitively. And this by working actively to meet their requirements, resulting in a real partnership. It is therefore logical that this entity received its name: Forest Agency Service Terminal In 2004, the Maritime KUHN group, a major port player on the Atlantic coast, wishing to expand its network further south, joined the company FAST. in force today: - Maintain respect for the founding principles of FAST, which are, quality of service and creation of a true partnership in relations with our customers, - Extend its activity to new products while maintaining the policy of FAST by benefiting from the strong experience of the KUHN Maritime Group. Today, due to the quality of its services, its strong identity, and its multiple projects, the FAST Company is a key operator in the life of the Grand Port Maritime de La Rochelle. While respecting its original vocation, FAST today handles a multitude of traffic in the port area of the Atlantic Port of La Rochelle. Therefore our name Forest Agency Service Terminal is doubly effective since being FAST, as a port operator, is a mandatory quality to meet the requirements of Shipping. << Back Legal Notice / Contact
