Marseilles continues strong performance

Marseilles continues strong performance    Port of Marseilles-Fos first half container throughput rose 17 percent to 510,819 TEUs, putting the port on track to surpass 1 million TEUs for the year.
   Through the first six months of 2010, volume at the port's deep sea Fos terminal rose 12 percent to 375,203 TEUs, while intra-Mediterranean volume rose 36 percent to 135,616 TEUs (though that growth was somewhat helped by low volumes in early 2009 caused by frequent strikes at the intra-Med terminal).
