Provence Méditerranée Metropolis, Hubert Falco - is
the first port in the Mediterranean to provide energy to all its
Docks. It is an innovative project based on a system
intelligent energy flow management through a mix
unique energy. With the support of ABB, the Region
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and our partners, we are improving
significantly the quality of the area in the port, ensuring
at the same time the commercial activity. The connection
electric land-ship - highlighted Falco - will eliminate beyond
80% of polluting emissions. It will also allow the
