Multi-function terminal in Trieste in German majority
After participating in ports in Odessa (Ukraine) and Tallinn (Estonia), the Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) is taking a majority stake of 50.01% in the multi-function terminal "Piattaforma Logistica Trieste" (PLT) in the seaport of Trieste (Italy).
The investment will be allocated contractually and organisationally to HHLA International. With this investment, HHLA is positioning itself in a growing and strategically located market on the Adriatic.
The 280,000 sqm terminal facilities are within the Free Port of Trieste. Its new heart is emerging in the southern part: the newly developed area will start operations in Q1/2021 and is designed to handle container and ro-ro traffic.
PLT's capacity will then comprise a total of approximately 300,000 teu, 90,000 ro-ro units and 700,000 t of general cargo. (ah)
