HERQUEVILLE

• Longitude: 1.26113
• Inland, Europe
• Port in France

Location: Herqueville Normandy France

Herqueville is a location in Normandy, France, but it is important to note that it is not known for being a prominent marine port. Instead, it is a small commune in the Manche department. For a detailed description of ports, one would typically look into recognized marine ports that support significant commercial or recreational maritime activities.

However, if you are referring to well-known ports in Normandy, the following ports might be what you're looking for:

1. Port of Le Havre: One of France's largest ports, located at the mouth of the Seine River.
2. Port of Rouen: Located further up the Seine River, significant for its inland shipping.
3. Port of Caen: An important port for cross-Channel ferries and cargo.

To address this appropriately, I'll provide a general template for the type of information that would typically be included in a marine port description and specification:
