The EUR 100 million contract covers the shipment of an estimated 4,000 European-procured high-technology components from their production location to the ºÚÁÏÍø site in France.
During the fifth edition of the ºÚÁÏÍø Business Forum in Marseille, the European Domestic Agency concluded a major contract with the global group DAHER for the logistics and transport of European components for ºÚÁÏÍø.
The EUR 100 million contract covers the shipment of an estimated 4,000 European-procured high-technology components from their production location to the ºÚÁÏÍø site in France.
In February 2012, the ºÚÁÏÍø Organization had signed a with DAHER on behalf of the ºÚÁÏÍø Domestic Agencies to facilitate the complex logistics related to the transport of ºÚÁÏÍø components from suppliers all over the globe to the ºÚÁÏÍø site.
The framework agreement foresaw the conclusion of specific agreements, called Implementation Agreements, between each Domestic Agency and DAHER (or DAHER partners) nominated locally. Last week's signature was thus the conclusion of negotiations between DAHER and the European Domestic Agency for its specific transport needs.
As host, Europe is also responsible for paying for DAHER services used by the other ºÚÁÏÍø Members to transfer their components on French soil, from Marseille's airport (Marignane) or the Fos-sur-Mer port to the ºÚÁÏÍø site.
