From the Terminal Alti Fondali Savona a test load of steel coke for the ArcelorMittal group
Italiana Coke records an increase in sea transport compared to that by land
October 26, 2020
This is 10,000 tons that have started in recent days since terminal in Savona and arrive in Taranto. To board the TAFS cargo obtained from the Port System Authority of the Ligurian Sea authorization to use an area of the port of Savona to store the coke destined for embarkation in the forecourt. Italiana Coke specified that the authorization is for the temporary time and limited to 2/3 test embarkations. The option allows TAFS to increase its daily boarding instalment and to be able to work with important volumes (10,000 tons) and at a in line with normal standards.
In the meantime, the company has instructed a new practice at the Fire Brigade to obtain an authorization storage areas, in the event that traffic for Taranto can be consolidated. Italiana Coke has in fact pointed out that their sales are increasingly veering towards transport via sea and towards exports and that since 2015 there has been a constant increase in exports and at the same time an increase in shares of coke shipped by sea which, in these first nine months of the 2020, overtook those of coke shipped overland.
"The constant increase in exports of the last five years and shipping by sea -- pointed out the administrator delegate of Italiana Coke, Paolo Cervetti - it is a signal positive for Italiana Coke. The test load for ArcelorMittal is an important opening obtained thanks to the work of all in this Direction. We trust that it can turn into a relationship between important companies of the Italian system in a moment of great uncertainty in the world economy in which it is they also rethink the logic of global supply in the direction of greater régionalisation.'
