Marseilles Fos acts on port reform transfers

The port has said it was obliged to act after the national evaluation commission for port reform noted the failure of existing operators Eurofos and Seayard to reach agreement on setting up a joint company.

Announcement of the appeal – to be launched “soon” – came after a meeting of the supervisory board, when members were advised of the commission’s initial reactions to four dossiers, delivered in June, reporting on the private transfer process at Graveleau and three other port terminals.

The board heard that the commission’s observations on the Mourepiane container terminal at Marseilles were expected by mid-December following a request for additional information.
