Alkion Terminal Marseille to be first major isotank terminal in the South of France

Alkion Terminal Marseille (ATM) has become the first location in the South of France to receive authorisation from DREAL (the regional directorates for the environment, planning and housing) to construct and operate a major isotank terminal. This is a significant milestone for Alkion and for the region’s logistics capability and potential.

Isotanks are multimodal which means that the product does not have to be discharged and reloaded when, for instance, switching from truck to rail. As such, they deliver significant environmental and logistical benefits and enable logistics optimisation.

The new platform will offer 204 spaces for multiple product types: flammable (80 spots), toxic products (60 spots) and corrosive (60 spots). Approval was granted in January 2022.

The execution phase began in May 2022 and we are finalizing the demolition of several old tanks to prepare the land. The platform is expected to be operational in July 2023. Customers will be able to store liquid bulks (hazardous and non-hazardous) on a secure site, equipped with the right safety equipment and handled by experienced and trained employees.

This project will give Alkion a powerful presence in the European isotank market. Jakalski Aurélien, sales engineer and project developer at ATM said: “We are very proud of everyone involved with this project and we look forward to seeing the platform in operation!”
