HHLA accesses the Adriatic market
Port operator HHLA accesses the Adriatic market. Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has entered the Adriatic market, buying a majority stake (50.01%) of the multi-function terminal “Piattaforma Logistica Trieste” (PLT) in the Italian port of Trieste.
The two parties signed the agreement on 28 September, while the transaction is subject to various conditions precedent and is expected to close in January 2021. Additionally, the investment will be allocated contractually and organisationally to HHLA International GmbH.
HHLA accesses is the third move outside of Hamburg after its participation in the ports of Odessa, Ukraine and Tallinn, Estonia.
Trieste’s terminal acquisition is an opportunity for HHLA to play a part in the new and changing cargo flows, according to Angela Titzrath, chairwoman of HHLA’s executive board, who described the investment as a “strategic expansion to our existing port and intermodal network.”
The terminal facilities are within the Free Port of Trieste and take up a total area of 280,000m2. The northern part of the facilities, handle mainly general cargo and logistics services, while in the new area to the south, operations will start in the first quarter of 2021 and it is designed to handle container and ro-ro traffic.
The capacity of the PLT terminal will comprise a total of approximately 300,000TEU (standard containers), 90,000 ro-ro units and 700,000 tonnes of general cargo.
HHLA could expand the terminal through additional adjacent areas, according to an announcement. “Our development strategy in the direction of Central and Eastern Europe fits in with HHLA’s orientation,” commented Francesco Parisi, chairman of PLT’s executive board.
The position of the Port of Trieste on the Adriatic also allows for development opportunities in hinterland transport, added HHLA, while the PLT terminal has its own rail connection and the HHLA rail subsidiary Metrans already connects the Italian port with its European intermodal network.
I have seen plenty of useful factors on your web-site about pcs. However, I have the judgment that lap tops are still not nearly powerful enough to be a sensible choice if you generally do projects that require lots of power, including video enhancing. But for website surfing, statement processing, and a lot other frequent computer functions they are just great, provided you may not mind the small screen size. Many thanks for sharing your ideas.
Yet another thing I would like to mention is that as an alternative to trying to match all your online degree lessons on times that you end work (considering that people are exhausted when they come home), try to receive most of your sessions on the week-ends and only a few courses on weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your saturday and sunday. This is really good because on the week-ends, you will be far more rested and concentrated on school work. Thanks alot : ) for the different guidelines I have figured out from your weblog.
Can anyone in a position to recommend comprehensive Metal Grilles Business Leads? Thanks very much 😀
