consolidate our role as a national leading port in the
of dry bulk and in various goods. In addition - he recalled

entered service off the coast of Ravenna last May - by
This year we benefit from the new traffic of liquefied gas that
generates significant economic and employment effects in the port
and can prefigure a future national role for Ravenna also
in the liquid bulk sector. The port of Ravenna - ha
underlined Benevolo - is therefore confirmed as a logistical node
strategic for the country's production system and, thanks to the strong
community and local institutions, as well as
to the further public and private investments that we hope
will soon be activated in the area, will be able to face with
Efficiency and competitiveness are the desirable expected goals
