The port of Marseille-Fos announced the construction of new subsea cable landing infrastructure which will provide a reliable and convenient plug & play interface for subsea cables coming from all over the world to the Marseille area. The port will deliver the first phase of the dedicated infrastructure by Q3 2019, which can welcome up to six cables, the company said in its release.
A one-stop shop system within the French administration for permitting process will be implemented simultaneously in Marseille to facilitate applications.
Connecting submarine cables through the Port of Marseille also makes sense given the current location of carrier-neutral data centres, both within and near the port area.
