In the first half of this year, the port terminals managed by the

In addition, general cargo traffic has grown

In Italy, the Turkish group is present in the port of Taranto
through the San Cataldo Container Terminal (SCCT) branch, which
operates at the Multi-sector Pier of the Apulian port of call, an area that
was entrusted to the company at the beginning of 2020 and
on which it is difficult to resume the flow of traffic
which had been reduced to zero at the beginning of 2015 after the
Taranto Container Terminal, the then concessionaire that had been
placed in liquidation, had returned the terminal to the
harbour. The restart of operations turned out to be more
arduous than expected, so much so that the Port System Authority
of the Ionian Sea has recently urged SCCT, to which previously
had issued a warning for not having moved the levels of
traffic envisaged in the first phase of the concession contract,
achieve the planned annual traffic volumes within 24 months
the first two years of the agreement, i.e. 105,000 TEUs and 245,000 TEUs.
