Hint of resumption of containerized cargo
March 10, 2022
Yilport had planned to bring to the port of Taranto volumes of traffic contanerizzato equal to 150 thousand teu in 2019, to 350 thousand teu in 2020 and 600 thousand teu in 2021. Last year, however, when Yilport has had in management for the whole year the terminal, the traffic was just 11,841 teu, very far from the one envisaged also taking into account the effect of the impact on the activity of the Covid-19 pandemic that has hit in other port sectors are greater than that of the containers.
Yilport has always confirmed its interest in relaunching of the activity on Taranto, promising an intensification of the traffic volumes. In January 2022, in fact, the traffic of the container at the Multisectoral Pier was equal to 10,957 teu, a little less than those handled in the whole of 2021 and much more that the 866 teu totaled in January 2021. A volume of traffic raised thanks to the ten ports of call of ships of the group owner French CMA CGM, whose 24% of the capital is held by the Turkish group Yildirim which owns Yilport. CMA CGM and Yildirim each hold, inter alia, 50% of the capital of Malta Freeport, the company that operates the container terminal of the Maltese port of call of Marsaxlokk on which the ports of call in the Mediterranean of the container ships of the shipowning group French, ships that in recent weeks CMA CGM has hijacked in small percentage on Taranto.
If last January the containerized traffic in Taranto, in terms of weight, has risen by +1,788.2% to 153 thousand tons and that of other miscellaneous goods increased by +2.2% to 251 thousand tons, bulk traffic volumes, on the other hand, have recorded heavy reductions, with solid ones having totaled 630 thousand tons (-49.7%) and the liquid ones stopped at 161 thousand tons (-55.6%).
