Adani Ports (APSEZ) signed an MoU with Port of Marseille Fos to boost India-Europe trade via the IMEC corridor. The partnership aims to strengthen connectivity, promote IMEC as a sustainable trade route, and co-found an IMEC Ports Club. This initiative reinforces the strategic India-France partnership.
This strategic partnership with a major European port enhances Adani Ports' role in a significant global trade corridor, potentially leading to increased cargo volumes and business opportunities.
The partnership is expected to strengthen trade connectivity and economic cooperation, which is a positive development for Adani Ports.
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Port of Marseille Fos, France, to enhance cooperation in trade facilitation, port innovation, and energy transition. This strategic partnership aims to establish an IMEC Ports Club, strengthening coordination among key ports along the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) route and reinforcing connectivity between India and the European Union.
The MoU was signed during the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, highlighting the growing India-France strategic partnership and aligning with the IMEC and India-EU trade vision. Launched at the 2023 G20 Summit, IMEC is a 6,000-km multimodal connectivity initiative. APSEZ's ports at Mundra and Hazira serve as the eastern gateway, while Marseille Fos strengthens the western European gateway, adding approximately 70 million tonnes of capacity and extending IMEC's reach into Europe.
The partnership will focus on promoting the IMEC route as a sustainable alternative, technical exchange in areas like digitalization and cybersecurity, developing the Mundra–Marseille Fos Green Maritime Corridor, and co-founding the IMEC Ports Club to institutionalize dialogue among corridor ports.
Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director & CEO of APSEZ, stated that this MoU connects the final leg of the IMEC corridor to Europe, accelerating information and material exchange and strengthening economic cooperation and supply-chain resilience. Hervé Martel, CEO of Port of Marseille Fos, emphasized their role in structuring and energizing this new trade route and advocating for a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable connection.
