Il porto di Seattle progetta nuove infrastrutture

Il prossimi anno il porto di Seattle prevede di spendere 154,6 milioni di dollari per la realizzazione di nuove infrastrutture, inclusa la costruzione di un container terminal e il trasferimento del terminal crocieristico. Si tratta di un incremento del 25,5% rispetto al budget di 123,2 milioni di dollari fissato per il 2006. Il rilevante aumento dei costi - ha precisato la port authority dello scalo americano - comporterà un calo del risultato netto, che il prossimo anno si attesterà a 182,5 milioni di dollari contro i 184,2 milioni di dollari previsti per l'esercizio 2006 e i 159,6 milioni di dollari registrati nel 2005.

Nei primi nove mesi di quest'anno il porto statunitense ha totalizzato una movimentazione dei container pari a 1.486.879 teu, con una flessione del 4,7% rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2005.
