Client Case

Martinique.

Objective achieved thanks to MGI

In 2007, the Port of Fort-de-France equipped itself with the AP+ Port Community System to efficiently track maritime flows and reduce goods processing times. This structuring project, carried out with the creation of the Port+ entity, was strengthened in 2011 by the addition of the AirPort+ air module, also covering the activities of Lamentin airport.

Result: smooth and harmonized management of maritime and air traffic, better anticipation of operations, and enhanced traceability for all actors in the Martinique logistics chain.
