Contship Italia unveils strategic investment in La Spezia Container Terminal

During a two-day gathering between the Melzo and Spezia offices, Tom Eckelmann, a board member and shareholder of Contship Italia Group, reaffirmed Eurokai’s steadfast commitment to bolstering the company’s growth amidst significant transformations and development endeavours.

Eckelmann conveyed a message of continuity and assurance to senior management and employees, underscoring Contship’s pivotal role as a premier operator in Italy and the Mediterranean region. Furthermore, the announcement of an additional US$53 million investment in the LSCT terminal, alongside the already allocated US$266 million for the Ravano extension, was made.

This new investment plan, set to be realized within the next two years, will prioritize enhancing the Fornelli quay and acquiring new equipment, thereby ensuring the terminal’s competitiveness and operational efficiency.

“We are being called upon to deal with an extremely dynamic and competitive environment. The investment plan is a tangible sign of the shareholders’ willingness to support the development of the terminal and all the Group’s activities: this will enable us to improve our operational capacity with a positive impact on the level of service we can offer our customers,” commented Matthieu Gasselin, CEO of Contship Italia Group.

In employee meetings, Tom Eckelmann honoured the late Contship Italia Group president, Cecilia Eckelmann Battistello, acknowledging her substantial contributions to the company’s growth and global expansion over the past decades.
