The project is a sub-operation of the TEN-T medium-sized Italian ports programme loan. The works consist of the rail development within the port as detailed in the port's current master plan.
The project will contribute to the development of a core TEN-T port, promotion of sustainable transport and climate action: improving supply chain efficiency and encouraging transfer of freight from road to railway.
An environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the project was undertaken and approved as part of the 2006 port master plan. The approval required a number of issues to be investigated further. This work was completed and final approval was granted in April 2015 for the project railway works.
