• Port of Marseille-Fos • Chambers of Commerce and Industry - Marseille Provence & Pays d’Arles • Local councils (Marseille City Hall, General council, Regional council, etc.)
• Government services (Prefecture, Maritime Affairs, Customs, Air and Frontier Police, Veterinary and Phytosanitary Services, DRE [Regional public works authority], DRIRE [Regional industry, research and environmental authority], etc.)
Actions
Partnerships that come to life through concrete actions, originating from objectives set in the Port Charter, and the most important of which are managed by organisations or other groups specifically set up for the purpose, in domains as varied as:
• training for all the employees of businesses working at the port in “creating better synergies in the port community”
• Port information technology, AP +, operated by Marseille Gyptis International, in which UMF is the major shareholder. • Lobbying activity to implement the port reform (law of 4th July 2008) • the promotion of the port of Marseille-Fos, coordinated by Marseille Europort, which includes the Port of Marseille, Marseille Provence Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Marseille-Fos UMF
