The Regional Administrative Court for Liguria has declared inadmissible the appeal filed by the British Med Yacht Storage Limited v Port System Authority of the Western Ligurian Sea relating to the granting of the concession for a state-owned area in Vado Ligure, where the English company He intended to create a nautical hub for large yachts. Med Yacht had advanced its project in 2020 and the Ligurian Port Authority has recalled that the documentation submitted had been insufficient and administratively deficient making it possible to in fact, the application submitted is inadmissible. Med Yacht had decided to appeal without suspension to the Regional Administrative Court after the area was assigned in concession to Eurocraft Cantieri Navali. Last June Med Yacht had asked for the case to be decided (petition of withdrawal) and the TAR had therefore set the public hearing for the 20 December 2024, then postponed to 11 February.

Among the reasons indicated, the TAR considered the appeal on the ground that the company Med Yacht Storage was struck off the UK commercial register, thus losing the legitimacy to continue the legal action. In addition, the same Med Yachts did not contest the measure by which the Authority Portuale has awarded the concession to Eurocraft Cantieri Navali in the Schedule.

The port authority specified that, following the ruling, the state concession in the name of Eurocraft Cantieri Navali remains fully valid and operational and that the Port Authority is not subject to compensation or other legal consequences.
