On 14 August, the board of directors from the Port of Dunkirk Authority gave its approval for managing director Jean-Claude Terrier’s replacement by the current director of the Port of Rouen Authority, Martine Bonny.

Mr Terrier’s departure follows his appointment by the board of directors as managing director at the Port of Marseille Authority, where he will take over from Guy Janin in September.

Mr Janin has elected to retire after almost three years in the job, during which time he oversaw construction of the Fos 2XL container terminal and launched the Fos 3XL and Fos 4XL initiatives.
