   The French port of Marseilles Fos has appointed Arnaud Ranjard to director of development.
   He replaces Dirk Becquart.

In this role he developed several inland multimodal platforms, including Trilogiport at Liege and Pagny in Bourgogne. The Marseilles Fos port authority is a minority shareholder in Pagny, one of its partners in the Medlink network of logistics hubs along the Rhone-Saone axis.
   Before that Ranjard was commercial director for logistics companies Franbelti & Eurofram until 1996 and then Norfram Logistics until 2007. In 2000 he created Norfram’s Marseilles-based agency, which now operates as Manuport Logistique.
