va sano e va lontano! fonte APM: The new Vado Ligure container terminal, that APM Terminals will open end 2017, will integrate the company’s port network in the Med Sea, currently consisting of the terminals located in the ports of Gioia Tauro, Port Said, Tangiers (transhipment) and Algeciras (transhipment and Iberian regional market). The terminal is aimed at large global shipping companies operating in the Med Sea with large vessels of +14-15,000 TEU that will serve the import/export trade between the Middle East/lndia/Far East and the European hinterand market that stretches from northern Italy to Switzerland and Bavaria. lntermodality will be encouraged: as for inland forwarding, the goal is to move up to 40% of the total traffìc via rail. The terminal in Vado has several advantages over Ligurian/ Tyrrhenian range options: -the effìcient connection to Northern ltaly’s transport network, with a direct slip road to the new dedicated motorway gate and traffìc-free railway lines from Savona to Turin and Alessandria, perfectly fìtting freight transport needs. -the ability to accommodate the large ships sailing on the Far East/Europe routes, thanks to the natural deep waters (over 15 m), the absence of limits to crane dimension and the easy nautical access. -the fast container cycle, thanks to the terminal’s operating system (semi-automated yard cranes) and the “one stop shop” customs services. -the availability of logistics services at the back of the port, allowing to enhance value proposition to customers, offering a complete and cost-effective range of solutions. -the high environmental effìciency, through the use of low-impact technologies provided by the Environmental Development Program adopted by APM Terminals.
