The president of the Port Authority, Fulvio Lino Di Blasio, who also has the

expectations for the Veneto port system and for the productive fabric
of the entire Northeast. We - he highlighted - firmly believed
in the project of the new Montesyndial terminal for which
the Authority and the commissioner structure have committed several
resources than for any other infrastructure built so far in the
lagoon ports. We are sure that this large industrial area
decommissioned, reclaimed and infrastructured, will return to create
value and employment. An intermodal hub will be built here,
perfectly integrated with European rail corridors, capable of
manage up to one million TEUs, multiplying the current traffic
of containers, a high value-added sector, and contributing to
relaunch our ports by attracting investments from
operators, both among those historically established in Venice and between
new international subjects".
