In 2017 China and the EU
exchanged goods for a total
amount of 600 Mld €.
92.8% of the trade flows (in
volume) was transported by sea
(69.1% in value).
North Tyrrhenian and North
Adriatic Ports account for 80%
of the Italy/China containerised
trade.
The Tyrrhenian Ports, located in
the “open-side” of the Med, hold
the main market share (60% of
the Italian total).

16. The upward trend of vessel
size affects all sectors of
maritime shipping: Bulk,
Containers, Cruises.
While shipping companies
benefit from economies of
scale, ports and other
operators along the supply
chain have to cope with the
impact of huge traffic volumes.

19. INLAND CONNECTIVITY
Ports are “only “crucial nodes
along complex transport chains.
Port competitiveness depends
more and more on its smooth
integration with the markets
and industries in the hinterland.
Railway transport plays a crucial
role to expand the port
catchment area and to cope
with the traffic peaks and huge
volumes carried by the big ships.

20. ALONG THE SHORE
ULCS handling capacity is being increased through expansion
projects on the way in Genoa, Pra’ and Vado Ligure, in
partnership with major players as MSC, PSA, APM Terminals,
COSCO and Qingdao Ports.
In order to improve maritime accessibility and ship manouvres,
new breakwaters will be realised both in Genoa and Vado.
• Improvement of last mile road and rail links
• Automation of port Gate controls
• Digitization of port procedures
• Interoperability among public and private IT systems

INLAND
As part of the Post Morandi Bridge Action Plan,
inland railway terminals and Logistics Operators
located in the port hinterland will benefit from
simplified procedures and financial incentives to
improve the modal split
GETTING READY FOR THE NEW OPPORTUNITIES

21. CURRENT SCENARIO
Lack of critical mass in ports
Port railway links capacity constraints
Vessels > 12,000 TEUs: container traffic peaks
NEW INTERMODAL SOLUTION
Shuttle trains quickly moving containers from ports to inland
terminals
750 m trains to European destinations
along the EU corridors
Cooperation with EU inland terminals
Land-locked markets in Central Europe – Intermodal services with 750-m trains (€/box)
Alp-Transit and the completion of the southern part of the Rhine-Alpine corridor (2022) will further improve
the railway cost picture avoiding double traction to cross the Alps.

23.  The Ports of Genoa show high growth traffic rates, have implemented important infrastructure
investments for larger vessels and are very attractive at international level;
 Huge investments and works are underway in particular along the Rhine – Alpine Corridor
improving capacity, quality of service and environmental impact;
 The size, the technical characteristics, the maritime services and location of the Ports of Genoa
along the Rhine – Alpine Corridor are strategic to maintain and improve the competitiveness of
the European import-export;
 Need for European vision (and funds) for environmental, urban and social sustainability.
CONCLUSIONS

24.  The Ports of Genoa offer the highest standard of port services (i.e. total port in/ port out transit
time, port handling quality, time and tariffs, complete range of port services, etc.) and can
accommodate container-ships with a cargo capacity up to 18,000 TEUs
 The potential bottlenecks are in the inland connections between the port and its markets. In the
short-medium term, the Port Authority is focusing on the upgrading of the existing rail
infrastructures and on the improvement of the rail transport services (allocation of train paths,
paperless document management, etc.)
CONCLUSIONS

25. The future competitive position of the port is depending on the actual removal of the potential
bottlenecks to access a part of the eastern port basins from the sea - through the new breakwaters,
in order to accommodate container-ships up to 24,000 TEUs - and to connect the port to its
hinterland, in particular via railway (forecasted total handling capacity up to 6 million TEUs by
2030);
 These major infrastructural works are therefore interconnected and the implementation of both
sets of infrastructural works is of paramount importance for the development of the Ports of Genoa.
