Abstract: The World Bank toolkit and its port administration models, particularly for landlord ports, have been inspiring port reforms around the world for many years. This includes the French port reform of 2008. This reform was implemented according to local conditions, and according to the activities of ports and terminals in comparison with other major European ports. This paper analyses the new organizations set-up and gives details about their features. Using the Matching Framework of existing literature, it assesses the degree to which the new structures and new strategies match. It contributes to the research about port reform, and stresses, as do the majority of other analyses that the landlord port model may require adjustments in specific situations.
