Following the OK from the MIT, yesterday, for the first time, COSCO Shipping Taurus and Evelyn Maersk, both container carriers of the capacity of 20 thousand TEUs and about 400 meters long.

Stressing that this is an epochal turning point that allows to meet the needs of a constantly evolving market and to go in the direction required by the operators, the CEO of PSA Italy, Roberto Ferrari, highlighted that "the approval of this trial It is also an epochal turning point for the port national ships, since we are talking about the most currently in service in the container ship market. This authorisation concerns the operation of colossal ships, which represent a real leap in scale for the Ligurian port. As PSA we have always operated 20 thousand TEU ships: our know-how and Our investments have gone in the direction of being able to ensure a state-of-the-art service in our terminal in Pra'. For us and for the market, the turning point is to be able to guarantee efficiency and operation to two mega ships at a time, avoiding that one remains inactive in the roadstead, and thus making it more efficient the entire logistics chain.
