For the storage of precast segments and reels of cables for the construction of the bridge over the Strait of Messina concessionaire company for the construction and management of the infrastructure would use, according to a timetable unofficial until 2032, the areas southwest of the evolution basin of the port of Gioia Tauro and also a part of the areas behind it to the container terminal of the Calabrian port, net of the recent acquisitions made by the container terminal and subject to agreement with the Regional Consortium for productive activities, owner of the areas.

This was announced by the Port System Authority of the Seas Southern Tyrrhenian and Ionian Sea, recalling that the original project of the bridge identified Gioia Tauro as the storage port of these constructive elements and, as it was conceived, constituted a sensitive interference with port operations due to mooring of the ships that transported the materials to the berth "high seabed" of the eastern quay in concession to the container MCT terminal and the interruption of logistics continuity due to the passage of materials to areas behind not in concession.

On the occasion of the Services Conference of last April 16 the Port Authority had filed an opinion underlining the negative impact and the project's harmful interference with port activity and had presented a resolution proposal, also following inspections and meetings with the technicians of the Stretto company of Messina Spa, consisting of the infrastructure of the southern part of the development basin and the use of the areas behind it for the storage, a proposal that was subsequently accepted since the Maritime Authority has lifted the reservation on the non- interference with the current basin of evolution of ships.
