About This Seaport
One of Europe's longest quay lines, stretching 2.6 km, defines Marseille-Fos and its role as France's largest seaport on the Mediterranean. The Terminal de la Méditerranée, operated by Eurofos/Portsynergie, is the country's biggest container facility, complemented by the Fos2XL terminal. Container volumes reached 1.45 million TEU in 2024, while total cargo exceeded 70 million tonnes spanning crude oil, dry bulk, breakbulk, RoRo and reefer traffic. Hinterland reach is a key selling point for forwarders: rail links run to Lyon, Paris and Northern Italy through the Alpine tunnels, with barge services up the Rhône into the French interior. Customs clearance follows standard EU procedures for import, export and transit through French authorities. Reefer and temperature-controlled cargo are handled on dedicated capacity. For shippers weighing western-Mediterranean options, Barcelona and Genoa serve as practical alternatives depending on final destination. Marseille-Fos remains the principal gateway for freight moving to and from southern France.
