While its container terminal business saw an increase of 109,000 TEU in overall handling volumes last year and welcomed 6,888 vessel calls, a 4% rise year on year.<\/p>\n
Cecilia Eckelmann-Battistello, Contship Italia Group\u2019s president, said: \u201cThese figures show that the Contship Italia Group offers a viable and attractive solution to the customers at a time when they need it most. The container shipping business continues to face instability, competition, with shipping line re organising their networks.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cContship remains totally committed with the approach to be a strong and reliable partner to the customers. Delivering fully integrated port-to-door solutions for the global supply chain is Contship main objective. The Group is committed to long-term investment in the business and knows that it is vital to show support to all valuable customers and end-users at every opportunity both be it at Contship terminals, on Contship trains or on the road with Contship pink trucks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Medcenter Container Terminal (MCT), the Contship terminal in Gioia Tauro, demonstrated the ability to adapt quickly to market demand and providing reliable stevedoring services. The positive impact of cost-reduction measures contributed to the partial recovery of MCT volumes at a time when the container-shipping sector is down.<\/p>\n
Rationalisation and cost-saving initiatives are further required in 2017 to consolidate the trend towards recovery and ensure the medium to long-term financial strength of the company.<\/p>\n
Alongside this, Salerno Container Terminal (SCT) grew steadily with a 10% increase in throughput, a significant jump compared to last year. It also plans to strengthening its infrastructure capability that will allow it to accommodate 10,000 TEU vessels by the end of 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
