Ever since the Etaples Shipping Co-operative and Producers Organisation (CME) was set up in 1958 by local shipowner-operators to unite the forces and resources of their fishing flotilla, our business has considerably developed and widely diversified. Supporting and promoting regional small-scale fishing, providing the flotilla with a global service, optimising the value added to fresh fish products - these are only some of the aims of our organisation, and this brochure is an invitation to share its values and viewpoint.
Each and every day, our highly experienced teams track and harbour the ships of the small-scale fishing flotilla, offloading the catch and generally supplying a wide range of services in order to provide shipowner-operators with the technical and financial advice and support they need.
