Tug Stoppage Announced for Port of Marseille-Fos
Tugs
will stop work from the start of the shift to 13:00 on Friday, 16 March 2018, in the Port of Marseille-Fos’ Western Harbour.
Western Harbour, Marseille Fos
In a letter dated 12 March 2018, Ship
agents were advised that this is because the CGT Union at Boluda will be
holding a general assembly.
The
Western Harbour is a generalist port which 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).
Like all other global-scale ports, it ensures
ship-repair activities with 9 dry docks including the largest in the
Mediterranean dry dock: "dry dock 10".
The
Port of Marseille-Fos’ passenger vessels generally dock in the Eastern Port right
in the heart of the town of Marseille.
