YILPORT Holding has submitted an offer for the Taranto Container Terminal concession in southern Italy, reports American Shipper. The Ionian Sea Port Authority (AdSP), the managing institution of Port of Taranto, received the request of Istanbul-based Yilport to operate a set of terminals that handle containers, bulk and roll-on, roll-off cargo.
Yilport said Taranto,. in the instep of the heel of the Italian boot, is 'well-located as a relay hub for the Mediterranean Sea,' and its terminals are integrated with intermodal networks linking Italy and central Europe.
Yilport said it will develop and revamp the terminals to attract and grow container volume, improve the logistics network and serve general cargo and ro-ro traffic.
Yilport is the 13th biggest container terminal operator and is 'growing towards its target to be ranked among the top 10 container terminal operators by 2025'.
