As part of their investment in port terminals, Portsynergy shareholders CMA CGM and DP World have just taken delivery of the first two gantry cranes for the ‘Terminal de la Méditerranée’. It is a symbolic step for their new container terminal at FOS2XL which will begin commercial operations in March 2011.
For the CMA CGM Group, these are the 14th and 15th cranes to be purchased for its French terminals.
Signed in 2006 with the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille, the agreement to build and operate a container terminal at Fos for a period of 35 years was granted to CMA CGM and DP World as part of the FOS 2XL project. The aim is to significantly expand the port’s positioning for container traffic in the Mediterranean.
