In an international context marked by geopolitical conflicts impacting maritime transport, our federation is more than ever at its members' side.

The UMF board of directors has defined a collaborative roadmap for the 2023 - 2025 term of office, in order to prioritize issues and ensure a monitoring of the various problems dealt with by our organization, in different fields: the development strategy for the Marseille-Fos basins, the fluidity and development of different modes of transport (road, rail, river), the hinterland, sustainable development...

In particular, UMF has a seat on the CCIL to defend the interests of our port in the construction of the future large maritime-fluvial port stretching from Marseille to Lyon.

To support this ambition, the team of permanent staff recently added a seventh member in charge of Public Affairs.

The year 2024 celebrates UMF's 120th anniversary. In partnership with the STM, AACN, CMAF and SEMFOS trade associations, we are organizing a "grand martime Gala" on May 23, bringing together over 300 local and national personalities from the maritime, economic and political sectors.
