Genoas port masterplan
¢ 4 billion port masterplan will be revised to incorporate leading architect Renzo Pianos Fresco of the Port of Genoa concept. The Fresco is revolutionary in that it would transform the entire 20 kilometre coastline, from Voltri to the Fiera Exhibition Area.
The timescale of the plan – divided into three phases – has been estimated at 6, 12 and 18 years and will be achieved with no detrimental effect to daily port operations. Piano’s plan envisages doubling the current operating surface from 200 to 400 hectares, thereby providing Genoa with the opportunity to address the challenges posed by future developments in the industry and to continue to build its role as a global trade gateway.
Renzo Piano identifies five areas of the Genoese coastline as focal points of his “Fresco”: Port of Voltri- Motorways of the Sea; Airport – Container Terminal; Oil Terminal – Tourist and Pleasure Harbour – Fincantieri;
Ship Repairs – Artificial Island; and Infrastructure Network.
