Dunkirk is a port city in northern France near the Belgian border. The name of this city comes from Dutch, which means "church on the dune". The West Flanders dialect of Dutch is traditionally used in this area.

As a deep-water seaport, Dunkirk Port has always been a comprehensive port, backed by French and European large-scale steel, energy, shipbuilding, textile and other industries. From the traditional metal, pipeline, timber cargo terminal and sugar cargo terminal to grain, steel, coal, lime, sinter, ferroalloy, petrochemical liquid, container and trailer ro-ro ship, Dunkirk Port covers almost all kinds of goods in traditional and modern modes of transportation. No matter from the past or now, its port management is complete, which is beyond the reach of many emerging ports in the world.
