The new perspective of the Port of Marseille Authority has led to a review of its sustainable development policy. The PMA understands that simply adding an environmental protection 'layer' on top of its economic activity does not constitute sustainable development. By admitting this, it has added a new dimension to its approach to economic development. Although the Fos-sur-Mer site is regularly in the shortlist of major global investors, the decision to invest has been slow to turn into action. The PMA, as both developer and promoter of the area, has therefore decided to revive the debate on the future of this heritage. It would be unreasonable to expect the PMA to be responsible for sustainable development within the port industrial area on its own, because sustainable development needs to be a matter for everyone. All players must be involved in the process leading to the adoption of a common strategy and its implementation – those with an economic, social and environmental interest. To give itself the capacity to orient its development policy for the Fos area and improve the measurement of the economic, social and environmental impact of this policy, the PMA felt it was necessary to set up the Sustainable Development Advisory Committee, giving the chair to a person recognised for their independent and experience in the field. Aristide Kaïdonis, an engineering expert to the Court of Appeal, specialist in industrial risks and Chairman of G.A.I.A., the Federation of environmental defence associations, chairs the CCDD on a voluntary basis. The CCDD is hierarchically independent of the PMA. It alone defines its strategy, implementation, operation and calendar, as part of its responsibilities. The main task of the CCDD is to bring together representatives of the economic world, civil society and local authorities, environmental defence associations, institutional partners and other qualified persons, to enable them to contribute to the process of developing a sustainable development policy and to its implementation in the Fos port zone, taking account of its influence on this policy for the sustainable development of geographical areas both near and far. It therefore has a consultative and advisory role throughout the process of developing the PMA's sustainable development strategy. The PMA consults the CCDD for its opinion on all industrial and structural matters affecting the development of the port zone. Initial actions of the CCDD : - to produce a survey, - to share its vision of the challenges and changes required in the short and medium term; - to specify ways in which sustainable development can be incorporated into the PMA's current and future plans; - to give itself the resources for measuring and monitoring progress made. The CCDD meets in plenary session on the first Wednesday of each month, and in separate committees.

It is within this area that the PMA's natural heritage is situated. There is a wide diversity of natural environments: the Crau coussoul, holm oak forests, fresh and saltwater marshlands, lakes, grasslands, sansouires, dunes and beaches, plus a rich and diversified fauna. More than 230 species of bird have been observed, including the Eurasian bittern, the little bustard, the pintailed sandgrouse, the purple heron and the short-toed lark, as well as reptiles and amphibians such as the eyed lizard and the European pond turtle. The flora, particularly in the marshes of La Coustière and the Gracieuse dune, are of particular interest. The summer snowflake and Girard's thrift have been found there. These natural areas are closely linked to traditional activities such as mixed farming, extensive breeding of bulls, horses and sheep, fishing and hunting, and reed harvesting. Anxious to protect its land, the PMA sees the best way to manage its heritage as being the preservation of ecosystems and their diversity, the promotion of sustainable management techniques and the protection of its architectural heritage. An example of this is the reconstruction of the shepherd's hut at La Favouillane. There are four particularly remarkable sites : Le Landre Lake THE LE LANDRE LAKE All the lakes and marshes in the Vigueirat trough, including Le Landre, are permanently watered by the Vigueirat canal, the Colmatage canal and the waters rising from the Crau groundwater table. Reed marshes cover large areas around Le Landre, providing breeding sites for several birds, such as the little egret and the purple heron. European pond turtles are also found in this area. Cyprinidae represent 84.1% of the fish population, and two migratory species that breed at sea are also found here: the eel and the thin-lipped mullet. Pike and eel are listed as endangered species. In terms of flora, the summer snowflake, which is a protected species in France, is abundant here, as is the little scorzonera (but in much fewer numbers). Reed harvesting is practised in the Le Landre reed beds. The Mariscus marshlands LE TONKIN The Le Tonkin marshlands are mariscus marshlands. These marshlands are one of the most typical systems of the Crau wetlands and are given priority classification in the Habitat Directive. They are home to the moustached warbler and the savi's warbler. The Eurasian bittern also inhabits this area. Bulls and horses are farmed extensively in the area. The Crau steppe LE VENTILLON The Le Ventillon area is a unique ecosystem of the dry Crau, known as the coussoul. In spite of its aridity, its total absence of trees and its monotony, scientists consider this steppe to be one of the richest in plant species in the Mediterranean region. With regard to fauna, the coussoul of Le Ventillon is home to Europe's largest lizard, the eyed lizard. It is also one of the largest breeding sites for the little bustard, the stone curlew and the pintailed sandgrouse. the lesser kestrels the lesser kestrel's nest the pintailed sandgrouses the eyed lizard the little bustard the stone curlew The short-toed lark, a typical inhabitant of arid plains, is also particularly abundant. There is also the lesser kestrel, mainly found on the coussoul of the Crau plain. Several Gallo-Roman shepherds' huts can be found in the Le Ventillon area, some of which are still used today. They bear witness to the fact that man has used the Crau steppe for thousands of years for ovine pasture, and constitute a wonderful archaeological heritage. Le Ventillon shepherds' hut Favouillane shepherds' hut sheep-farming horses The Gracieuse spit THE GRACIEUSE SPIT The Gracieuse spit is one of the numerous sand and salt islets (theys) situated downstream from Port St Louis. They were formed by the rapid advance of the delta caused by intense alluvial deposition by the Rhône, subsequently modified by sea movements. It was the advance of the mouth of the river, accelerated by the dyking of the Rhône concentrating the river waters into a single arm from the second half of the 19th Century, that led to the formation of the Gracieuse spit. Without the intervention of Man, the rapid advance of the spit to the North-East would inevitably result in the closure of the gulf and the formation of a new lagoon in line with a classic lagoon formation scenario. It is for this reason that most of the work carried out on the Gracieuse spit has been consolidation to prevent erosion. The work was carried out in the early 1990s in response to a pressing need to protect the Fos gulf from the swell of the open sea and to keep access to the port zone open to ships. More than 4 km of sea defences were installed, dumb craft were grounded and planting was carried out; vehicle access was also prohibited. Today, the PMA continues to monitor the movement of the spit and to maintain the defences. In terms of ecosystems, the eelgrass beds are particularly well developed behind the Gracieuse spit. They provide a particularly important habitat for fish and invertebrate fauna. ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Environmental responsabilities~Marine Environment~~ ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES MARINE ENVIRONMENT The Port of Marseilles Authority, as port manager, is the main contractor when it comes to maritime construction work. In order to allow ships access to all its facilities, it has to dredge docks and access channels and to dispose of dredged materials without adversely affecting the environment. When dredging, all possible technical precautions are taken to prevent the disturbance of sediments, which would put them back into suspension. Dredged materials are disposed of : - by immersion at sea, - or in containment basins. Regular investigations are carried out to increase our knowledge of the effect of dredged material deposits on the marine environment. Within this framework, the PMA participated in the national LITEAU research programme in 2001 in collaboration with IFREMER, the French marine research institute. ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Environmental responsabilities~Investment~~ ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES INVESTMENT Since 2000, the PMA has invested nearly €13 million in environmental protection. This has included : - the connection of black water waste to the Marseille municipal sewerage system, - the renovation of the fire-fighting system at the Lavéra terminals, - the upgrading of the sugar silo to compliance with standards, - environmental monitoring of Dock II dredging operations. ~~Port Autonome de Marseille~Environnement Moyens de lutte anti-pollution~ ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES FIGHTING POLLLUTION The Marseille Naval Firefighters Unit is responsible for safety at the Port of Marseille Authority. It handles all civilian safety issues, under the operational management of the mayor and the port manager and the overall control of the PMA. Visit the Marseille Naval Firefighters Unit website www.marinspompiersdemarseille.com ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Environmental responsabilities~Renewable energy~~ ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES RENEWABLE ENERGY With France having to reach the target of producing 21% of its gross electricity consumption using renewable energy by 2010 and the PACA region experiencing an ever-increasing demand for electricity, the Port of Marseilles Authority has decided to develop wind power. This choice was governed by the fact that the weather conditions of the Fos port zone favour wind generation, with winds that are regular in both force and direction (North/North-West) and a number of sites that are isolated from populated areas and suffer no major constraints, including in terms of the landscape. ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Environmental responsabilities The PMA has therefore launched an ambitious programme known as OPALE. It comprises six planned wind turbine sites in the Fos port zone. The first project on the site of the Rhône canal at Fos has already begun. One wind turbine is already in place and will shortly be followed by 35 others. Wind turbines on the Rhône canal ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Environmental responsabilities~Waste management~~ ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSABILITIES WASTE MANAGEMENT The Port of Marseille Authority is committed to establishing two waste management plans based on a policy of sorting at source, reusing and recycling ; - One plan concerns the management of waste from ships. It aims to increase the protection of the marine environment by reducing the amount of illegal dumping of ship's waste and cargo residues by improving the availability and use of port waste facilities (in application of Directive 200/59/EC). - The other plan concerns the management of waste generated by all the activities of Port of Marseille Authority staff. FAQ concerning the management of waste from ships : m.kao@marseille-port.fr ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Environmental responsabilities~Ballast dumping~ ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES BALLAST DUMPING The Fos and Lavéra oil terminals each have a ballast dumping station. These facilities receive and process ballast wastewater from ships calling at these terminals. The dumping stations recover the hydrocarbons in the water, which can be distilled for reuse as heavy fuels or naphtha for the petrochemical industry. After purification, the water is returned to the natural environment. All the installations are classified and monitored and comply with waste disposal standards. Fleet renewals and the increasing use of reinforced hulls means that the volume of wastewater to be processed annually by ballast dumping stations is constantly diminishing. A new ballast dumping station is to be built at Lavéra in 2005 to upgrade existing facilities. ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Activities~~ PORT ACTIVITIES CONTAINERS GENERAL CARGO LIQUID BULK DRY BULK FRUIT AND VEGETABLES SEA TRAVELLERS SHIP REPAIR INDUSTRIAL AND LOGISTICS FACILITIES HEAVY-LIFT FREIGHT ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Regular Shipping Lines~~ REGULAR SHIPPING LINES CONSULTATION ON LINE SHIPPING COMPANIES USING MARSEILLE-FOS (pdf format) SHIPPING AGENTS AND COMPANIES REPRESENTED (pdf format ) BROCHURE (bi-annual) Download "Regular Shipping Lines" brochure (July 2005 edition – pdf format, 6 MB) Receive one or more copies of the brochure (please enter your details and the number of brochures you require) For more details of regular shipping lines : Port of Marseille Authority - Marketing Coordination Service - Regular Lines Ms Paule ROMESTANT Tel : (33)4 91 39 53 21 p.romestant@marseille-port.fr ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Regular Shipping Lines~~ REGULAR SHIPPING LINES CONSULTATION ON LINE SHIPPING COMPANIES USING MARSEILLE-FOS (pdf format) SHIPPING AGENTS AND COMPANIES REPRESENTED (pdf format ) BROCHURE (bi-annual) Download "Regular Shipping Lines" brochure (July 2005 edition – pdf format, 6 MB) Receive one or more copies of the brochure (please enter your details and the number of brochures you require) For more details of regular shipping lines : Port of Marseille Authority - Marketing Coordination Service - Regular Lines Ms Paule ROMESTANT Tel : (33)4 91 39 53 21 p.romestant@marseille-port.fr ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Board of Directors~~ PORT OF MARSEILLE AUTHORITY Administrative structure The Port of Marseille Authority is a public authority created on 1 April 1966 by law of 29 June 1965 and decree of 8 November 1965, with its own corporate status and financial independence, regulated by the Minister with responsibility for seaports and subject to the economic and financial control of the State.

The way the port and shipping trades have developed has enabled those with skills in the PMA to capitalise on a wide operating experience, responding to a new impetus and the demands of globalisation. The PMA offers experience, a network and the creation of a meeting place conducive to the development of innovative projects – European projects, and research and development projects alike – to both public and private partners. Beyond traditional engineering, cooperation projects are tending to give way to complete package projects where companies group together to combine complementary skills, usually for turnkey projects. We can work with you as an integrator of solutions adapted to your needs, as a specialist in securing financing from financial backers, or as an engineering consultant. The problem of transportation has led us to focus on a number of major port and shipping subjects, in particular: A strategic development plan, Civil engineering, Operation (BOT, equipment, maintenance, training), New ICT applied to transport management, Environment, safety, security. Training for personnel (accompanying change and the preparation of quality assurance plans) goes with each subject. ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Training and Port Exchanges Institute (IFEP)~~ Contact Port Autonome de Marseille 23 Place de la Joliette BP 1965, 13226 Marseille cedex 02 Ms Sophie SCHOUVEILER Tel : (33)4 91 39 41 91 Fax : (33)4 91 39 40 90 Training topics developped by IFEP (.pdf 1,06 Mo) TRAINING AND PORT EXCHANGES INSTITUTE (IFEP) Introduction The Training and Port Exchanges Institute (IFEP) of the Port of Marseille Authority specialises in training in the port trades and international transport. Its principal vocation is to organise courses for companies wishing to improve or strengthen the theoretical or practical knowledge of their staff to enable them to cope with the conditions of international competition. Companies concerned : ports, freight handlers, shipping agents, transport agents and, more generally, all companies with an interest in the international transportation of goods. They may be private or public companies or government administrations, and they may be French or foreign. Areas of training - International and multimodal maritime transportation, - Port management; state-owned ports, private ports, - Operating a port terminal, - Ship reception services, - Environmental protection. Course leaders We use highly skilled specialists and professionals from the Port of Marseille to lead our training courses. Course leaders are chosen with regard to subject and who is being taught. The need for discussion between course leaders and attendees is stressed so that problems directly affecting them can be covered. Methods of delivery Courses are normally held in French, but we do also organise courses in other languages. Teaching methods alternate between classroom-based learning, discussions with professionals, technical visits, group work, practical exercises and case studies. Methods are decided on a case-by-case basis in line with the teaching objectives of the course and the course length. Who the courses are for The way we work means we can adapt courses to suit attendees at different levels of responsibility. Attendees tend normally to be management staff, but courses can be arranged for different staff levels. Course length The length of training courses is decided jointly with the customer. Most courses last 10 days, running during two consecutive weeks. Actual course duration varies, however, according to the level of those attending and the course targets. Technical visits can also be arranged, for periods of less than a week. Course venue Courses are generally held at the premises of IFEP in Marseille (theoretical content), with technical visits throughout the Marseille area. Courses can also be arranged at other locations within France or abroad, depending on the needs of the customer. How to sign up All training courses are subject to a training agreement drawn up between the Port of Marseille Authority and the requesting organisation, which sets out all aspects of the training to be given. Certificate Certificates will be awarded once each course has been completed. The teaching and logistical arrangements of all courses are assessed with those attending. The customer is given a synthesis of this assessment. Tests can be arranged where the course involves the acquisition of theoretical or practical knowledge. - top - ~~Port of Marseille Authority~International Transport and Port Institute (ITIP)~~ Contact Port Autonome de Marseille 23 Place de la Joliette BP 1965, 13226 Marseille cedex 02 Mr Jacques THURET Tel : (33)4 91 39 43 90 Fax : (33)4 91 39 40 90 itip@marseille-port.fr www.cnam.fr INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT AND PORTS INSTITUTE (ITIP) This institute, run by the IFEP, offers two training courses Senior technician in International Transport and Ports, run in conjunction with the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers.

It reports to the Harbour Master's Office and works with it on port security issues. Under the orders of the Harbour Master, the new head of the Security Department is responsible for the safety and security of the port of Marseille. He acts as adviser to the Managing Director on industrial and port security matters. The security of port installations and terminals includes measures implemented to protect installations against sabotage, piracy, theft, terrorism and all other forms of malicious action. It covers all measures taken to prevent any intrusions into legitimate enterprises. Security includes measures to prepare for intervention where security breaches have taken place, in particular the activation of bodies with the legal authority to stop, question and arrest or apply any other forms of law. These measures cover all the PMA's port facilities, including leased areas, terminals and the whole of the port road network. The task of security officials of the Port of Marseille Authority is to guarantee the safety and security of the sites for which they are responsible. The Security Department participates directly in the prevention of ill-intentioned and malicious acts within the Eastern and Western docks and to prevent hostile actions carried out from outside enclosed areas, from the sea or within sites by using surveillance and detection, and other appropriate equipment. As part of their activities, officials from the Security Department are involved in opening and closing port access gates, enforce parking regulations and supporting highway safety measures, particularly where road traffic accidents are involved. The action of officials on these sites comes under the general security policy defined within the framework of the ISPS Code, which aims to discourage, provide information about, control and where necessary participate with the authorities in the fight against all kinds of malicious behaviour occurring on land and at sea. In a continuation of the activity of the old security division, the Security Department is responsible for the general safety of people and property in accordance with prefectural orders governing conditions of access and traffic through the enclosed areas of the Port of Marseille Authority. It works with a number of organisations active in the prevention and discouragement of antisocial behaviour and also participates in the work of the five committees set up within the steering committee run by the prefectural representative for security and defence and the Attorney General as part of the port security contract for the Port of Marseille. This Port Security Contract (signed on 28 March 2003) authorises the exchange of confidential information to combat antisocial behaviour more effectively within the everyday activity of the port services. It brings together representatives of the Prefectural Police Force, the National Police, the Customs Service, the National Gendarmerie and the Security Department. ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Major Projects~Corporate Plan~~ CORPORATE PLAN Why a new Corporate Plan in 2004 ? A Corporate Plan is a reference document defining strategic objectives and identifying ways of achieving them over a given period. The Port of Marseille Authority produced its first Corporate Plan in 1998, paving the way for some very positive results: - record volumes of passengers and assorted goods and the maintenance of bulk volumes; - the strategic alignment of the various agencies operating in the port, the key to the future performance and appeal of the port; - the recapturing of the ability to handle large-scale projects (Fox 2XL, GDF2) and of essential investment, significantly altering the rate of investment. These excellent results are significant in the current competitive and changing environment, which has led the Port of Marseille Authority to pursue its strategy of development by adapting to new challenges through a new Corporate Plan, currently in preparation, which will cover the period 2004-2007. In a context of accelerated globalisation and heavy growth in traffic, there is a multitude of challenges: investment rehabilitation, development (particularly of the Fos industrial and port zone), security issues, enlargement of the hinterland (through better overland connections), and consolidation of its positioning as a global, competitive port.These have led the Port Authority to deal with a number of issues concerning its business, its projects and the nature of the change to be effected. The 2004-2007 corporate plan will be a response to these issues. It provides an opportunity for confirming the strategy of the Port of Marseille Authority, reviewing the challenges facing the authority and the port itself, and setting the general guidelines for this strategy. To do this, it will apply a unique analysis by type of passage through the port, identified on the basis of : - type of goods: oil, miscellaneous goods, fruit and vegetables, etc. - type of packaging: liquid bulks, solid bulks, containers, conventional packaging, etc. - maritime transport: type and size of vessel, organisation of transport services, - overland transport: mode, organisation of transport services. The combination of these various factors applied to Port of Marseille Authority traffic produces about twenty separate activities that make up the PMA's overall activity: - Liquid bulks: LNG - Liquid bulks: crude oil - Liquid bulks: refined products - Liquid bulks: LPG - Liquid bulks: chemical products - Solid bulks: steel industry - Solid bulks: small bulks - Solid bulks: agri-foods - Solid bulks: large bulks - Cruises - 'International' passengers - 'National' passengers - 'National' freight - Containers - General cargo (multipurpose handling) - Specialist fruit and vegetables - Industrial and defence ship repair - Cruise ship repair - Supplies - Installations. ~~Port of Marseille Authority~Major Projects~A new interface~~ A NEW INTERFACE BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE PORT OF MARSEILLE The creation of a new interface between the city and port in Marseille is in progress This project reflects a shared ambition held by the PMA, Euroméditerranée and their partners to promote the concept of mixed usage and function, expressed symbolically by the replacement of the traditional fence between the city and its port with a wider boundary providing a versatile space for port, commercial, urban and cultural usage using volume, space and time. The synergies are particularly apparent in the economic, commercial, cultural and educational themes running through the scheme, and rely on a modern new conception of the interplay between city and port. Three projects currently under construction or at the negotiation stage are making this approach a reality, and confirming initial instincts that there were potential synergies between ambitions for the city and the development of the port. The Port of Marseille Authority The largest port in France, the Mediterranean and southern Europe, ideally placed in the north-western corner of the Mediterranean Sea, at the crossroads between East/West and North/South sea traffic, Marseille-Fos welcomes ships operated by the largest intercontinental shipping companies for stopovers on a weekly basis. Marseille-Provence, France's largest airport for freight after Paris, is situated just ½ hour from Fos Distriport, making the organisation of combined sea/air transport and urgent deliveries to all major European and Mediterranean cities quick and easy. Trafic In 2003, the Port of Marseille handled 95.5 million tonnes of freight. With a programme of investment worth €90 million in 2004, the PMA has confirmed its strategy for the modernisation of facilities and equipment and the launch of a number of ambitious projects essential to its development. These ambitious projects include GDF 2 and Fos 2 XL, close to the Distriport, which will double the capacity of the container terminal, and the new city/port interface in Marseille. In addition to the port industrial developments under way within the PMA itself, the current economic climate borne out by a growth in traffic through Marseille's Eastern docks, coupled with the shared development ambitions of the PMA, Euroméditerranée and their partners, has created a fantastic opportunity to consolidate Marseille's position among the great European cities by giving particular emphasis to its confirmed and strengthened role as a port. The excellent results and growth recorded by the Eastern docks, coming at the same time as the development of the vast, publicly-funded Euroméditerranée project covering 320 hectares in and around the port area, have opened the way for a new approach to the interface between the city and port in Marseille, with a number of unique synergies appearing. Fos-Distriport Fos Containers Terminal Port development projects offer potential for the creation of added value for a city, and similarly, city development projects open other horizons to give added value to the activity of a port. A unique city/port interface at the Marseille docks provides added value both for the city and for the port. 1) Within the Euroméditerranée development area : For the PMA, a tertiary logistics centre is to be developed right next to the commercial docks. The Port of Marseille, in particular its central docks, are growing fast. Sectors such as passenger and cruise traffic are soaring and there has been constant growth in miscellaneous goods traffic. Euroméditerranée, the publicly-funded urban renewal project under way in Marseille, has secured 310 hectares for construction projects, of which 110 hectares are situated within an area controlled by the Port of Marseille Authority, designated as inalienable Maritime Public Property. In its development role within the city, the Euroméditerranée development agency (EPAEM) is aiming as part of its economic development strategy to consolidate the existing fabric by developing tertiary services supporting port and shipping activity and the traditional major industrial and economic sectors. The tertiary services to the shipping, logistics, transport and international trade sectors, services to the new economy (telecoms, media and e-commerce) and cruises are Euroméditerranée's priority targets. The agency's action is expressed in the provision of high-quality land and property, designed around the Cité de la Méditerranée (City of the Mediterranean) concept. Cité de la Méditerranée, Marseille's new business quarter, demonstrates mixed urban and port usage in action. Economic and port activities, tourism, urban leisure, culture and institutions sit alongside one another in a mutually enriching formation along a redesigned seafront, the site of a major urban reconfiguration project. Land has been allocated as follows: a planned 120,000 m² for the services sector and 50,000 m² for the logistics sector, together with 65,000 m² for cultural activities, 50,000 m² of shops, 35,000 m² for leisure activities, 40,000 m² for hotels including a luxury hotel complex, and a 100,000 m² housing programme. A services centre, the fruit of a partnership between the city and the port, for the international trade sector, enabling companies and logistics operators to be grouped together at the heart of the port and giving Marseille the capacity to attract major groups (CMA-CGM), is also becoming a reality. International investors are returning to the port, attracted by the positive outlook and coherent development strategy being pursued by local and national partners. 2) The reorganisation of the PMA's passenger terminals In parallel with the development of this high-quality tertiary centre close to Marseille's commercial docks, the PMA is undertaking a major reorganisation of passenger and freight operations in the port. Having achieved profits through efficient management that enable investment to be quadrupled over four years, the PMA has taken the opportunity presented by the synergies of the Euroméditerranée project to adapt its infrastructure to the emergence of new markets and new conditions. A new all-purpose passenger terminal building comprising two international terminals, one national terminal and a cruise terminal is currently being built at the La Joliette docks at the heart of Cité de la Méditerranée. A new cruise terminal built to international standards is already in service and another new cruise terminal is soon to be constructed along pier J4. 2-1) The contractual framework of the PMA and EPAEM partnership The process of transforming the Marseille city and port façade relies among other things on two conditions to do with land, laid down in the partnership agreements signed in August 2004 by the PMA and the EPAEM, namely : The declassification of the land from Maritime Public Property, the transfer of ownership of most of the J4 terminal area and the integration of the corresponding land into the portfolio of Cité de la Méditerranée. Clearing a 45 m strip from the docks façade that pushes back the port operating area from the central zone will enable a coastal axis (tunnels and surface road) to be built in the future. With all the international terminals and the customs control and police systems arranged in the long shed on this 45 m strip, freeing up the space meant that this rather original shed arrangement would have to be demolished and the corresponding reception and control superstructures rebuilt with comparable functionality. Agreement 99/101 provided for a financial contribution to be made by the EPAEM for the preparatory port construction work to be completed by the PMA to cope with a big increase in traffic (2 million passengers in 2003) through the La Joliette passenger terminal and to make the space available for the implementation of the infrastructure and building programmes by Euroméditerranée. The first phase of this work is now completely finished. Its aim was to secure the demolition of the southern part of the long shed, situated on the 45 m strip and an important link in the operation of the terminal. The modification of piers J2 and J3 and the construction of a new berth 93 enabled the creation of a wharf area in front in the port operating area. This increase in land area meant that the ferry embarkation area could be reorganised and the first part of the long hangar, previously used for passenger vehicles, could be shut down. This part of the hangar has now been demolished. 2-2) Construction of the new city/port interface in Marseille: integrating cultural, commercial, port and tertiary facilities A set of principles governing the implementation of the city and port coastal façade development strategy was jointly agreed by the PMA and EPAEM. Synergies were sought in areas such as the economy, commerce, culture and education, expressed in a general reconfiguration of urban and port structures, particularly in the interface zone between the PMA and EPAEM, i.e. from Fort St-Jean to Porte d'Arenc. This adaptation of urban and port structures to a new reality requires a new, more modern conception of the relationship between city and port, a conception that denies neither the economic reality of the port nor the design or history of the site, and that produces a unique composition of city and port, a new visual and functional relationship between the city and the port that consists of more than just using the port area to justify the development. This mixed usage is symbolically expressed by the replacement of the traditional fence between the city and the port with a wider boundary providing space for multiple port, urban and cultural facilities by playing on volume, usage and time. This conception is already materialising in the first projects to be completed : ARENC SILO REDEVELOPMENT The building that today houses the embarkation section of the La Joliette passenger terminal will, by 2007, be expanded to accommodate a suite of offices, an Olympia-style show and concert arena, a concert bar, a rooftop restaurant, recording studios and a public viewing gallery. The AOT has been signed, together with a protocol of works to ensure the project remains compatible with the obligation to continue operation as a port. Work is scheduled to start in 2005. The project emerged in response to a call for proposals launched by the PMA in 2000, on the basis that the internal space of the Silo should be made available to a private investor through a long-term AOT. SOGIMA, presenting a project designed by the architect Eric Castaldi (in partnership with the City of Marseille as far as the construction of the concert venue was concerned), was awarded the contract. CONSTRUCTION OF THE ALL-PURPOSE LA JOLIETTE TERMINAL The new passenger terminal designed by the architects Lanoire and Courrian, currently under construction, uses a 'Lego'-style construction based around a walkway more than 1000 m long, open to the public; it provides an accessible urban façade, situated on the edge of the port operation zone. The terminal building houses two terminals within an urban facility that enables other installations to be added easily; further developments will gradually be completed over time. This modular design, because it can so easily develop areas linked to the terminals that are not intended solely for port activities, creates an active and versatile interface that expresses perfectly the evolving relationship between the city and port. The opening of the main all-purpose terminal is planned for 2005; the port infrastructure (quays, wharf areas) have been in operation under a transitional arrangement since the summer of 2002. The J1 satellite terminal is expected to open in 2006. Modularity, adaptability and the expression of the urban development ambitions of the EPAEM are characteristic of this project, and were the criteria used to judge submissions during the contract award procedure. The all-purpose terminal is designed to accommodate initiatives that develop economic and urban added value as part of the port/city interface. Built close to the Cathédrale de La Major, this all-purpose terminal will accommodate the very largest ferries on regular services to North Africa and Corsica. DEVELOPMENT OF TERMINAL J4 SINCE 2001 AND INTEGRATION OF THE FUTURE CRUISE TERMINAL INTO THE J4 CULTURAL CENTRE The wharf areas of the old J4 pier cover 5 hectares at the heart of Marseille, at the foot of Fort Saint-Jean. They constitute a unique waterfront site. Although most of the wharf area has been cleared of port operations following the 1999 agreements between the PMA and the EPAEM, the quays are still used for berthing ferries, small cruise ships, navy vessels and vessels in transit. Until the Cité de la Méditerranée projects emerge, an advance development designed to initiate the public use of these spaces, which in the past were always fenced off and inaccessible, has been carried out under the control of the PMA and financed by the EPAEM. The area that has emerged was handed back by the PMA to the management of the City of Marseille early in 2001, and many major events are regularly held there. The EPAEM is committed to a major redevelopment of the J4 wharf areas after declassification and transfer from the State; this redevelopment will include a large public venue commissioned by the State, the Museum of the Civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean (MCEM), and a cruise terminal in line with the port vocation of the area. Because of the synergies between the cultural projects at J4 and the accommodation of luxury cruise ships at berth 94, the integration of the new cruise terminal in the future redevelopment of J4 being orchestrated by the EPAEM may be an asset for the development of luxury cruise liner activity in Marseille. J4 pier THE TERRASSES DU PORT PROJECT In July 2003, the PMA launched a call for proposals for the "Terrasses du Port" project. The consultation was run as a competitive call for proposals under the provisions of the Loi Sapin, and concerned the provision within the maritime public property managed by the Port of Marseille Authority of an architectural space located above the La Joliette passenger terminal and along the edge of the future coast road. This architectural space is to be built above ground or below ground with a view to the creation of the Terrasses du Port and underground car parks, in a way that will not interrupt the operation of the PMA passenger terminal and is in harmony with this activity. For the PMA, the development of the Terrasses du Port (and car parks) revolves around the following four basic requirements set out in the call for proposals : To establish economic, cultural and leisure activities at the site for passengers embarking at the port, enhancing its value and establishing Marseille as a point of passage. Because of their ability to attract a wider public, these areas need to be developed to enhance and complement the projects planned as part of the Cité de la Méditerranée. To maintain the potential to adapt to changes in port operation and the growth in the PMA's passenger traffic, To preserve the inalienable character of this public property, To be integrated into the PMA's passenger traffic management strategy. The timescale for the call for proposals was as follows : On 6 December 2002, the Board of Directors of the PMA approved the principles of the Terrasses du Port development and gave the Managing Director authorisation to launch the call for proposals among financial and executive partners likely to take an interest in the project. On 10 July 2003, a new Board of Directors approved the specification for the call for proposals and on 16 July the consultation procedure was launched. On 3 October, seven proposals had been received. On 30 January 2004, the PMA Board selected three proposals. On 9 June and 22 June 2004, a panel of judges met for a presentation by each team, and then reached a decision. On 9 July 2004, the PMA Board of Directors decided to go with the opinion of the panel of judges, and authorised the entry into negotiations with Foruminvest. The negotiations are currently in progress. The panel's decision was a response to the ambition of the project submitted by this operator and to the relevance of its urban and architectural features. The proposed project requires investment of about €200 million. Alongside the projects being pursued as part of the urban renewal initiative, the explosion in cruise activity at Marseille has encouraged the Port Authority to provide a new reception facility for cruise passengers. 2-3) A new international standard cruise terminal at Marseille The synergy between the city and port is also apparent in the development of cruise activity, a port activity of benefit to the city and the whole region, which is currently soaring in Marseille. In 2001, growth of 45% was recorded in cruise activity. In 1992, cruise activity was practically non-existent at the Port of Marseille. In 2001, 223 cruise ships made stopovers at the Port of Marseille, bringing in 240,000 cruise passengers, compared with only 44 stopovers in 1995. This growth, which became well-established in 2001, now puts Marseille among the ranks of the world's largest cruise ports. It now receives up to 450,000 cruise passengers per year. To accompany this development, the PMA has invested in the construction of a new berth to accommodate the very largest cruise ships and the development of the Marseille Provence Cruise Center, a new cruise terminal on the Léon Gourret pier. The plans for the new cruise terminal were the subject of a number of studies in conjunction with American and European shipping companies to ensure the terminal is as close as possible to their requirements. The Marseille Provence Cruise Center is designed to accommodate two terminating vessels with a capacity of 2000-3000 passengers each, providing all the necessary facilities for this traffic: large baggage handling areas (capable of handling up to 24,000 items of baggage per day), areas for passenger reception and check-in between their vehicles and the ship, access to berth 163 via a travelator, access to berth 181 via a gangway, and 50 check-in counters. The total surface area of the terminal opened in 2004 is 6230 m² and it can cope with 3000 passengers disembarking and 3000 passengers boarding simultaneously. The MPCC has in-built security features, in particular : - protected passenger routes between the terminal and vessels, - a separate baggage handling area with emergency access doors, - separate areas for boarding/disembarking passenger traffic with customs and police detectors at each entrance. The facility is unique for its potential to receive TGV trains on the quay. The PMA currently has the capacity to accommodate 9, and soon 10, cruise ships simultaneously, with space for vessels up to 350 metres long. Like the Marseille Provence Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the City of Marseille, the PMA is a member of the Club de la Croisère, an association set up in 1996 to promote cruise business from the Port of Marseille.

A valuable economic centre for the Lyon area, Port Edouard Herriot, which lies to the south of the city, has direct links to national and international motorways. Excellent intermodal transport links facilitate trade, with inland waterway, road, rail and pipeline services. The port has two internal docks with private wharf areas and is linked to 550 km of wide gauge waterway accessible by river and sea traffic; it also has its own rail facilities linked to the SNCF freight network and a distribution pipeline from the Fos-Marseille tanker terminal. The port is situated on direct routes between Lille and Marseille, Lyon and Geneva, and the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany and Belgium. For more than 50 years, these logistical assets have been attracting businesses and industry to the region, contributing to the significant growth of the region's economy: oil, steel, civil engineering, agri-foods industry, logistics warehousing, salvage and recycling. Features Total area: 210 hectares Total goods traffic : more than 9 million tonnes per year Inland waterways traffic : 1.5 million tonnes (Loading and unloading) Lyon Terminal, subsidiary of CNR and advanced port Lyon Terminal was set up in 1992. The company is responsible for the commercial operation and port management of riverside facilities. With headquarters in Port Edouard Herriot, Lyon, it handles all services relating to container activities. The growth of Lyon Terminal is due mainly to its partnership with the Port of Marseille Authority and the introduction of shuttle services between Lyon and Fos as part of the "advanced port" concept. The activity of Lyon Terminal, the Port of Lyon container terminal, has grown significantly since 2001 (by 43% in 3 years) on the strength of its two mass modes of transport, rail and river. The explosion in river traffic (up 540% in 2 years, reaching a volume of 24,618 TEU in 2003, comparable with the figure for rail at 26,254 TEU) is the result of the dynamism of Rhône Saône Conteneur, the Marseille inland waterway carrier, supported by the PMA, Voies Navigables de France, Compagnie Nationale du Rhône and the Burgundy, Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur regions. To keep pace with this growth, Lyon Terminal is being expanded.
