Grimaldi will launch a new direct ro-ro service between Civitavecchia and the North American ports of Baltimore and Halifax

Civitavecchia operator Roma Terminal Container SpA (RTC) is to transfer its operations in three stages during 2008-2009 to a different part of the port (Wharf No. 25), which will give it the possibility of handling post-Panamax ships as opposed to just feeder ships today. RTC’s present shallow water facility has a 200m long quay with a 30,000 m2 back up area, but the new one has 700m of berthing with up to 16m alongside and 200,000 m2 of back-up area.

Two more “runners” will soon enter the Italian container terminal stakes, although one runner is still on the starting blocks
