Mumbai, Oct. 1 The Mumbai Port Trust and Port of Marseille Authority on Tuesday concluded a sister port agreement with the cardinal objective of fostering experience-sharing in the areas of engineering, management, security and sustainable development.

The agreement also promises to promote mutual trade and development between the two ports.

An official statement said the sister port agreement was a clear indication of the Indian market’s interest in Marseille-Fos port, the only general cargo port in southern Europe. The port is fully equipped to cater to containers, automobile logistics and petroleum products.

Maritime trade between the Marseille Fos port and India has been limited to date.
