Che sera – Serra?

Italian-owned, German-based rail freight operator TX Logistik is updating its motive power with the first deliveries of new locos from Siemens Mobility.

The partnership will facilitate seamless door-to-door transportation services across the entire market, enhancing efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.

Gruppo Grendi, the shipping, ports operator and logistics company, logged sales of €68.6M in 2021, 19% more than in the previous year. This partly reflected some recovery in passenger traffic on its Marina di Carrara-Olbia service and the success of the ro-ro freighter liner service introduced between Marina di Carrara and Olbia last year.

Investments from new and existing players are having an effect, but there are still problems to overcome.

A public tender issued by Italian rail network manager RFI for the design and supply of three dual-fuel (LNG/MDO) fast ferries for passenger transport in the Strait of Messina has not elicited a single offer from the market.

Italy’s Port Authority System for the Eastern Sea of Sicily (Ad-SPdMdSO) has issued a public tender for the dismantling and removal of two STS cranes in the Port of Augusta. Sealed bids must be submitted by 5 April and the AdSP will open them on 12 April.
