Ancona
October 28, 2026
Today the Committee of management of the Authority of Harbour System of the Central Adriatic Sea has approved the Operational Plan Triennial 2027-2029 that previews 308 million euros of investments divided between almost 218 million for the Marches and almost 91 million for the Abruzzo. For 2027 the harbour agency has programmed for the port of Ancona investments for 67,8 million euros only for the structural works, while they amount to 10,5 million resources for the digitization, the design of the works and the relative technical activities of preparation and authorization. In 2028 additional works such as the redevelopment of the ex Fiera area are planned, while waiting to know the outcome of the environmental evaluation procedure of the Pier Clementino. And again: new ticket offices, the passenger reception, the improvement of the harbour roadworthiness and the completion of the area ex Tubimar - that yesterday has recorded the signature of the contract for the demolition - to be destined to new spaces to disposition of the District of luxury Cantieristica.
As for the port of Pesaro, where it will also open a new headquarters of the AdSP, the interventions concern dredging, extraordinary maintenance and requalification of the docks, with investments for about 14 million euros, while in San Benedetto del Tronto, the pot previews interventions for the dredging and the improvement of the harbour accessibility, besides the start of the design of the first stralcio of the North Darsena, infrastructure for which is indicated an amount of 30 million euros. On the environmental front, the Plan also focuses on the electrification of the docks, on the use of alternative fuels and on the digitization of the logistics, with the objective to reduce the emissions and improve the management of the harbour traffics.
As for Abruzzo, the POT 2027-2029 aims at projects and investments spread over Ortona, where by December 2026 will start the design of the dredgings (300 thousand euros) and in 2027 the strengthening of the bank (30 million) and the service center (eight million), in addition to the full operation of the Molo Martello (4.5 million). It also provided 47 million FSC funds for dredging and extension of the south dam and TEN-T rail link. In Pescara, opening of the AdSP office by November 2026 and launching of the dredging design (600 thousand euros) in January 2027, with interventions on safety, fishing and boating. In Vasto, monitoring of works for 44.65 million and 25 million FSC funds for the extension of the Overflow Pier and the extension of the Piazzale di Levante.
On the occasion of today's meeting, the president of the AdSP, Mirco Carloni, has signed the decree for the dredging of the seabeds in front of the docks from 19 to 26 of the port of Ancona, the latter to bring to -14 meters of depth. A work made possible thanks to the confirmation, by CIPESS, of the funds of the Decree Infrastructure Portuali last August 2026.
"The other great theme we have faced - it has announced Carloni - is the terminalization, that is the process that projects the traditional dock in the future. From a multipurpose public place to a specialized terminal given in concession to an economic operator. For this strategy we have planned new bands and concessions until 2028. A strategic path that will see competitions already from next month for the dock 15 (with concession within February 2027), within March 2027 for the docks 13, 14, 16, 19, 20 and 21, within September 2027 for the dock 23 and within December 2027 for the dock 27, aims to modernize the port, improve the efficiency of the harbour activities, attract investments and strengthen the competitiveness of the dock".
