Saturday, November 2, in the afternoon, several fishing boats from Île d'Yeu (Vendée) blocked the Yeu Continent company shuttle, which connects Port-Joinville to Fromentine, for half an hour.
The carrier Maxiplon, which has been transporting seafood from the island's old fish market to the Sables-d'Olonne fish market since 2016, has been at a standstill for a month. L'cancel Oya III instead provides transport to Fromentine.
A situation that angers fishermen. Three years of sounding the alarm. THE Maxiplon is vital for fishing. The Region's boats are dependent on the tides and do not provide departures on Sunday evenings for five months in winter.
deplores Eddy Plessis, boss of Listraopresent during the gathering. Fishermen demand rapid responses and serious commitments
of the Regional Council, responsible for the matter.
No complaints were filed Saturday. Buses were chartered, departing from Fromentine, for passengers who had to go to Nantes station.
précise Carole Charuau, maire de l'Île-d'Yeu.
