Ente Bacini, the company that manages five dry dock in the ship repair area of the port of Genoa, asks for new spaces and the extension of the concession, a request that is was formulated today on the occasion of the conference organized at the Palace San Giorgio, headquarters of the Port System Authority of the Sea Ligure Occidentale, to celebrate the company's centenary.

Highlighting that "today Ente Bacini represents an excellence in the Mediterranean for ship repairs and refitting of all types of boats" and recalling that since 2021 the company has had profitable balance sheets «which - has specified - we reemploy not only in the necessary activities of maintenance and innovation, but also in sustainability", the president of the company, Daniela Boccadoro Ameri, stated that, 'however, in order to continue to grow, the ship repairs need new spaces to accommodate larger ships, for which the drafting of a new port master plan". "In the in the meantime - continued Ameri - we are working to modernize existing structures: the Port System Authority has already allocated 30 million euros for the restructuring of basins 4 and 5 and the construction of a new quay, and Ente Bacini has in charge of the design and preliminary investigations. However, we are waiting for the calls for tenders for the design and, above all, the renewal of the concession currently expiring at the end of 2025, necessary to achieve the next few years in which, precisely because of the maintenance interventions planned, the basins will not be able to operate at full capacity".

Requests that seem not destined to fall on deaf ears given that the Port System Authority owns almost all of the of the share capital of Ente Bacini.
