Port of Genoa receives TEN-T money
The port of Genoa is going to receive €3.9 million from the TEN-T Programme for its project to extend one of its terminals and renew the intermodal infrastructure.
The project, which was selected for funding under the 2012 TEN-T Annual Call, concerns works aimed at adapting the Port’s infrastructure to larger ships.
As a major national port and southern European gateway, the port of Genoa needs to be prepared for the future traffic demand increase and to adapt its port layout to the new market requirements.
The project will tackle land reclamation of the sea basin between the Canepa and Ronco piers and the building up and revamping of infrastructures ancillary to the new terminal, particularly a new rail connection. The overall aim is to create a new multipurpose terminal, built and equipped with higher technical and operational standards.
Once completed, the project will remove a major bottleneck and improve modal split, as well as contribute to the achievement of a number of fundamental EU transport policy objectives.
