In recent days in the port of Ravenna, the representative of the Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Agency of the European Commission, Julian Espina, carried out the final visit of the "Ravenna Port Hub: Infrastructural Works" project, which was funded by the European Union under the Connecting Europe Facility programme and which focused on on the dredging of the seabed of the port at -12.50 meters (in view further deepening to -14.50 meters by 2026), on the adaptation of the quays to the new seabed and on the construction of one kilometer of quay of the new container terminal in Trattaroli Peninsula. Out of the total investment of approximately 157 million euros, the European contribution was over 30 million million euros.

Recalling that the project has also made it possible to make 200 hectares of new logistics areas available, to strengthen the road and rail links and, through a strong boost to digitization, to make procedures more efficient related to the loading and unloading of goods, the President of the Port System Authority of the Sea Adriatico Centro Nord, Daniele Rossi, highlighted that "the conclusion of the Port Hub project allows the port of Ravenna, together with all the other projects in to take on a key role as a logistics hub between Southern Mediterranean, North Africa and Continental Europe"

«The completion of the "Ravenna Port Hub: Infrastructural Works" - said Julian Espina in occasion of the visit - marks an important step for the European transport network, and in particular the The Baltic-Adriatic Sea Corridor, recently extended to Bari, and of the Mediterranean Core Network Corridor. This project allows to unlock and enhance the capacity of the port of Ravenna improving their accessibility and connectivity, and at the same time ensuring strong and robust European transport routes, to and from one of Europe's leading ports in terms of volume of transit, also helping to improve intermodal integration along the two European corridors".
