Port of Sète Sud de France

Objective achieved thanks to MGI

Since January 2015, the Port of Sète Sud de France has relied on the AP+ Port Community System to structure and modernize its exchanges. This strategic choice responded to multiple needs: compliance with ICS regulations, producing reliable statistics for the region, harmonizing processes among the various port stakeholders, and digitizing logistical formalities.

Thanks to AP+, the port improved flow, data reliability, and overall performance of its logistics chain.
