Golfe de Fos

Japanese: フォス湾 - フォスわん(英語表記)Golfe de Fos
Golfe de Fos
A bay on the Mediterranean coast in southern France, located west-northwest of Marseille and east of the mouth of the Rhône River. Due to its deep waterway nearby, lack of tides, and the vast unused flat land of the Crau, it was chosen as the base for new regional development in 1965, and construction of a port and coastal industrial zone was promoted. Three docks capable of docking 300,000-ton ore ships and tankers were dug, and they are divided into three wharves for industrial and energy use, one for container cargo, automobiles, and lumber, and one for export of steel and petroleum products.

フランス南部,地中海岸の湾。マルセイユの西北西,ローヌ川河口の東に位置する。付近に深い水路のあること,潮汐がないこと,クローの未利用な広大な平地の存在,こうした条件から1965年以降国の新しい地域開発の拠点として選ばれ,港湾ならびに臨海工業地帯の建設が進められた。30万トン級の鉱石専用船やタンカーが接岸可能な3本のドックが掘り込まれ,それぞれ工業用・エネルギー用岸壁,コンテナー貨物・自動車・木材用岸壁,および鉄鋼・石油製品輸出用岸壁となっている。
