The process of concentration involving global shipping lines and alliances, has introduced a rationalization of transhipment operations in the Mediterranean Sea. Container volumes and operations have been moved to the hubs located at the edges of the Mediterranean basin, such as Port Said, Tangier and Algeciras.
The container terminal of Cagliari, no longer being part of the main customer's strategic choices, recorded a total zeroing of the number of ship calls within a few months. Consequently, Broström Tankers AB, the sole shareholder of Porto Industriale di Cagliari S.p.A, the concessionaire of the container terminal, has decided to end its operations in Cagliari from October 2019 and to voluntarily liquidate its subsidiary Porto Industriale di Cagliari Spa.
