Genoa and Savona ports undergo strategic planning and free port expansion

Port Master Plans Genoa Port Savona-Vado logistics infrastructure free port extension

The Western Ligurian Sea Port System Authority has initiated a series of consultations with logistics and rail operators to draft new Port Master Plans for the ports of Genoa and Savona-Vado. These strategic documents, intended to guide development over the next 25 to 30 years, prioritize operational flexibility to allow for market shifts and emphasize the strengthening of rail connections and 'last mile' logistics.

In a related development, the local council has approved the extension of the free port regime in the former Ferriera area. This move aims to increase capacity for international traffic, particularly Ro-Ro services involving Turkey, and to attract new investments. The expansion is seen as a critical step in responding to global geopolitical shifts and ensuring the long-term growth of the port complex.
