TARANTO

Taranto San Cataldo Container Terminal is one of the closest deep-sea terminals to the main trade lanes through Gibraltar and the Suez Canal in the center of the Mediterranean in Italy. As an ideal port of call for both gateway and transshipment cargo, Taranto provides connections to Europe and the rest of the world.

Through its 1 million sqm land area, the terminal offers high-level productivity and easy access to the highway network: 5 active rail platforms directly connect Taranto (SCCT) to the national railway system, enabling overland connections to Northern Europe. A 160,000-squaremeter area will be dedicated to CFS and Empty Container Services, providing stuffing, stripping, inspections, M&R, PTI, sweeping, cleaning, and empty container inspection and conditioning.

Besides container operations, Taranto (SCCT) also handles bulk and general cargo, Ro-Ro, and project cargo vessels. The terminal integrates CFS and warehouse services within the container terminal, featuring 2 separate warehouses totaling 8,000 square meters for added supply chain flexibility. The logistics platform, located just 2 km from the terminal, is equipped with rail tracks and cold storage facilities for perishable goods.
