  • Marseille regagne des trafics face aux concurrents du Nord
    Pour le Port autonome de Marseille (PAM), l’exercice 2000 aura été un très bon cru. “Une année exceptionnelle notamment en marchandises diverses”, souligne le nouveau président Jacques Truau. Ce résultat a été obtenu notamment en regagnant des parts de marché sur les ports du nord de l’Europe. Parallèlement, les résultats financiers s’avèrent bons pour la deuxième année consécutive et il y a une forte relance des investissements. L’avenir aussi est considéré comme se présentant sous de bons auspices, en particulier grâce à des lignes récemment gagnées sur des ports concurrents du sud de l’Europe. Enfin, les critiques exprimées par le syndicat CFDT sont estimées sans portée réelle compte tenu du peu de représentativité des intéressés.

On peut donc comprendre que son quarantième anniversaire ait donné lieu à une manifestation particulière qui fut l’occasion vendredi dernier pour la direction d’évoquer certains aspects de cette évolution mais aussi d’informer la clientèle des perspectives.
