Last week the directors of the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille (GPMM) met with representatives of local, regional and national funded 25% of the 2005-2010 investment plan of the port of Marseille on delivering a total of 138 million 560 million € of total expenditure under the program.
The aim of the meeting, which took place upon completion of the port reform that involved the transfer to private companies of all port activities operating - said the Port Authority of Marseille - has been to convince the institutions to maintain their level of financial contribution towards the port to ensure that the airport could expand its activities, its policy of integration with the city and its commitment to sustainable development, in the framework of the Strategic Plan 2009-2013 which provides the GPMM investment of € 600 million.
"The port - said the president of GPMM, Jean-Claude Terrier - has the ambition to offer a world-class infrastructure by modernizing its range multi-modal logistics. That ambition, which aims to develop the port traffic and create jobs, can not be achieved without a strong partnership with local authorities. "
