The port of Sète-Frontignan, an asset for the Occitanie region

The Occitanie region is France’s most attractive, not least because of its magnificent Mediterranean coastline. The Mediterranean, with its unique character, is and will increasingly be at the heart of the major challenges of the 21st century, thanks to its human dimension, its commercial exchanges, its relations with all the countries that border it, its tourist assets and the exceptional richness of its cultural and regional heritage.

Its priority objective is to meet the ecological challenges that require innovation, whether in terms of the sustainable development of the activities of the three ports of Sète-Frontignan, the quality of its services, the preservation of the environment or its energy transition.
