The global rise of +3.8% of volumes marked in the period compared to the second quarter of 2021 is was determined exclusively by the increase of +13.6% in solid bulk that stood at 2.29 million tons.

In terms of 20-foot containers moved, in the second trimester of this year the containerized traffic was equal to only 2,899 teu (+69.4%), to testify to the difficulty of the San Cataldo Container Terminal (SCCT), the group company Turkish Yilport managing the container platform at the Pier Multi-sector of the Apulian port, to insert its own terminal in larger containerized traffic flows compared to the limited volumes of cargo that the few ships feeder containers that currently climb in Taranto can assure.
