THE Port of Marseilles-FOS Authority has established a single channel of communications with its clients to improve efficiency. According to the port newsletter, Marseilles had also reorganised its operational management. The establishment of operators integrated with the terminals in a public-private partnership would be initiated in such a way that a client of the port needed to contact a single intermediary. The newsletter said besides efforts to increase bulk traffic, the port also aimed to regain its best traffic levels for general cargo of 10.6 million tonnes, and for containers at 500,000 20-ft equivalent units (TEUs).
