RAVENNA TO DEEPEN PORT CHANNEL

Commenting on the proposals, HPH’s UK md, Richard Pearson, said: “This development will enable Felixstowe to berth more of the latest generation of large container vessels simultaneously, securing our position as a major European hub, and ensuring that UK importers and exporters enjoy the full range of direct-call liner services.”

Ravenna Port Authority has approved a project to dredge the port’s Candiano Canal approach channel to a depth of 11.5 metres between Largo Trattaroli and the outer breakwater.
