The consortium formed by VINCI Construction France and Dif Infra 3 PPP has signed the contract to design, build, finance operate and maintain (DBFOM) La Cotinière port project under PPP scheme. The project is located in the region of Saint-Pierre d'Oléron, France.

In 2013 the general council of Charente-Maritime department in western France launched the tender for the PPP project at La Cotinière port, which involves the construction of a new fishing harbour with full tidal access outside the existing tidally-restricted inner harbour. It is also comtemplated the development of two inner basins to create a leisure marina.
