Italy's La Spezia port brass to visit Ningbo, Qingdao, Seoul to foster trade
ITALY's La Spezia Container Terminal - owned by Contship Italia Group - is to hold a series of events this month in China and South Korea, to continue to convey the message that the port is a gateway to Italy and the markets of south and central Europe.
The return of the senior executives to Asia follows a similar visit to key supply chain hubs in Greater China and Singapore last year.
A Drewry report said the La Spezia homeport provided the best average transit times on the Shanghai-Mediterranean route, with 27 days for the 2M, O3 and CKYHE shipping alliances.
The scheduled arrival of the Hanjin Buddha box ship on May 8 will reduce the transit time to just 25 days from Shanghai to Italian markets, a statement from port authorities said.
The purpose of the May visits, which will include presentations and networking events in Ningbo and Qingdao on May 10 and 11, and in Seoul on May 12, is to engage with logistics providers, freight forwarders and manufacturers.
Commercial director of Contship Italia Group Maritime Terminals, Michael Cashman, said: "We now head to Ningbo, Qingdao and Seoul to introduce the alternative route and efficient end-to-end options we provide for Asia-Italy and south Europe cargo".
President of Contship Italia, Cecilia Eckelmann-Battistello, which operates six container terminals in the Mediterranean, will again lead the delegation.
