One swallow does not make a spring. But evidently a sunny day, or at least it appears bright, to leave already Behind us a very dark winter. A bad season that for the port of Civitavecchia paradoxically coincided with the last spring period April-June when the Lazio airport has accused a decrease of -20,7% of the traffic of the goods compared to the Second quarter of 2022 ( of 31 August 2023).

Today, opening the windows, the President of the Authority of Port system of the Central Northern Tyrrhenian Sea, Pino Musolino, did not see the beginnings of autumn, noting that the quay 24 of the port has started the new traffic in Export of tuff / pozzolan and since yesterday operations are underway loading 20,000 tons of product from Civita Castellana, traffic that, when fully operational, is expected to reach half a million tons per year. Contextually- observe from the window Musolino - in the terminal of Traiana are in course of loading operations of 7,500 tons of fluorspar and landing of about 2,000 tons of stainless steel scrap End of Waste (recovered product no longer qualified as waste) destined for the steel mills of Terni, and always at the terminal of quay 23 were also landed over 12,000 tons of ferrochrome, also destined for Terni.

At quay 29 - Musolino still notes - the loading operations by the CILP company of a COSCO vessel rented from NYK for export to the Far East of 1,000 cars in policy, mainly Maserati and Alfa Romeo.

To these traffics - finally emphasizes the president of the AdSP - always in the days of yesterday and today, they must obviously be added those passenger, with ro-pax and cruises, and commercial ones ordinary and lined, from ro-ro to the islands, to Tunisia, to the Libya and Barcelona, in addition to those in the agri-food sector, with the landing of bananas in containers at quay 24 for the CFFT.

'See all the freight docks of the port operational - comments Musolino - it is a tangible sign of how it is continuing the policy of differentiating trades with the acquisition of interesting segments that they will find, at the completion of interventions under the NRP, capacity unique accommodation able to meet market demands current and future. The work of the AdSP in promoting the port and in facilitating business opportunities, together with that fundamental of port companies, it will allow the port of call to diversify and increase the overall volume of traffic".

Not to be the birds of ill omen, though - remaining on the ornithological theme - Musolino would be advised to wait for at least a second swallow to make sure that the passerine already spotted was not migrating to others shores.
