The Ports of Genoa, with the support of Promos Italia and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Germany, presented its logistics services to Swabian exporters and importers finding great interest in the southern route’s logistics alternatives to Mediterranean and Adriatic ports.
The Western Liguria Port Network Authority announced it in a statement stressing that existing rail logistics solutions from the Basel area of Switzerland, could be extended to the Baden Wurttemberg and Swabia markets with competitive transit times and great flexibility in terms of the choice of shipping companies calling at the ports of Genoa and Savona.
The German shippers present at the meeting showed a growing interest in Mediterranean destinations and origins of cargoes. This is partly due to the nearshoring policy that industrial operators from southern Germany are currently applying to certain North African countries and Turkey.
According to the Port Network Authority, the Swabian Logistics Cluster has welcomed the opportunity of taking part in a business delegation visit to the Ports of Genoa to be organized at the end of the Summer, to lay the groundwork for a direct and ongoing dialogue with port operators and ancillary services in Genoa and Savona.
