France’s leading port, in 2008 the Grand Port <strong>Maritime</strong> de Marseille handled more than 96 million tonnes of commodities<br />

The port’s facilities are spread over two geographic sites:<br />
• the East Basin: Marseille,<br />
• the West Basins: Lavéra, Caronte and Port Saint Louis du Rhône.<br />
The activity related to the Port of Marseille-Fos generates more than 41,000 jobs in all, including<br />
21,000 in the Metropolitan Marseille Provence zone. 50,000 jobs are forecast by 2012.<br />
The goal of Marseille-Fos is to reach a volume of 150 million tonnes by 2020 based on implementation<br />
of its strategic plan.<br />
