TRIESTE-SAMER SEAPORT
- The ‘free’ status of the Port of Trieste –which is not available at any other Mediterranean port– offers a significant advantage to the DFDS customers.
- The free, commercial port zone of Trieste is subject to a regime of extraterritoriality, pursuant to which the Italian government cannot limit the flow of international cargo passing through Italy, making it the ideal port for Europe-bound cargo traffic from the Eastern Mediterranean.
- Given the limited number of annual transit permits the Italian Government provides to Turkey, the ‘free’ status of the Port of Trieste is one of the key attractions for Turkish freight operators to use DFDS’s short sea shipping service.
Trieste Port, located in Italy, is the north-most port in the Mediterranean and has a very large hinterland to west and central Europe. As one of Italy’s most important ports, the port is used for crude oil, Ro-Ro shipping, container and general cargo shipping. The port is based on a land area of 2.300.000 m².
