The Port of Marseille Fos is France’s leading port and the 2nd largest mediterranean port.

Ideally located on the shores of the Mediterranean, France's leading port, the Port of Marseille Fos, is the natural gateway to the south of Europe. It positions itself as an alternative to the ports of Northern Europe.

Covering an area as large as the city of Paris, it has all the required space and infrastructures to accommodate maritime, logistic and industrial activities.

As a generalist port, it handles all kinds of goods: hydrocarbons and bulk liquids (oil, gas and chemical products), general cargo (containers and other packaging) and bulk solids (minerals and cereals).

 It includes warehouses on two logistic zones near the Fos container terminals (Ikea, Maisons du Monde, Geodis/ Mattel, etc.) as well as industries (refineries, steel industry, chemical industry).

As all other global-scale ports, it ensures ship-repair activities with 9 dry docks including the largest in the Mediterranean: "dry dock 10".

The port also complies with international standards pertaining to passenger, cruise and ferry activities. Over 2 million passengers transit by the port of Marseille Fos each year. In less than ten years, it has become the 1st cruise port in France.

The Port is made up of two harbours, the “Eastern harbour”, located in the city of Marseille and covering 400 hectares, and the “Western harbour”, located in Fos (70 km from Marseille).
