Throughput record for Contship in La Spezia

La Spezia Container Terminal (LSCT) has recorded its largest ever result in container throughput in the first four months of 2017. Total throughput at the terminal was in excess of 276,000 units for the period January 1st, 2017 to April 30th, 2017.

This represents a rise of 15% in total throughput compared to the first quarter of 2016 which recorded a throughput figure of 240,000 units.

Head of Commercial at Contship Italia Group, Peter Hill said: “These strong throughput figures are highly encouraging for LSCT and demonstrate that the improvements we are making to help cargo flow through the logistics supply chain, that benefit Italian importers and exporters, are starting to pay off. Whilst it is too early to say if there will be a sustained upturn in the global economy, it is clear that our ‘Southern Gateway Alternative’ continues to gain traction. The formation of the new shipping alliances (from April 1st) is also starting to work favourably for us.”
