20 years ago

Savona port authority in Italy has received three bids to operate a multipurpose terminal at Vado Ligure, which will handle both liquid bulk and containers.

An area of 250,000 sq m will be reclaimed from the sea, giving the terminal alongside draught of 15 metres-20 metres. In all, 200,000 sq m will be dedicated to container handling and the rest to liquid bulk handling.

Among the bidders is APM Terminals, which first put forward a similar scheme five years ago, that was not taken up.
