The whole Phar'O concept has been designed to comply with environmental constraints and offer ecological benefits:

• Each site is surveyed to integrate the installation into the immediate environment so as to enhance its attractiveness.
• The installation site does not undergo any significant land modifications.
• No works disturb the marine environment.
• Compared to traditional dry ports, land use is reduced by 30% to 50%.
• The whole installation can be dismantled and moved.

This principle eliminates:

• common sources of marine pollution (anti-fouling, blackwater, oil or fuel leaks).
• noise nuisance and diesel lift fumes.
• risks linked to security.
