Euroports Celebrates 25-Year Terminal Rinfuse Venezia Concession
Celebration marks a major achievement in strengthening Venice’s role as the Adriatic’s leading trade gateway, bringing together community and partners at the Heritage Tower
VENICE, Italy – October 2, 2025 – Euroports, Europe’s largest port infrastructure operator and one of the world’s leading bulk and breakbulk terminal operators, celebrated on October 1, 2025 its new strategic 25-year concession agreement with the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority (AdSP MAS) for Terminal Rinfuse Venezia (TRV) at Porto Marghera.
The celebration at the emblematic Heritage Tower in Venice brought together partners, clients, and local representatives. The event highlighted the collective achievement behind this milestone for Venice and the wider Adriatic region.
The concession, effective October 2025, ensures Euroports’ long-term presence in Venice and reaffirms its commitment to the city, its community, and its future growth.
Strategic Authority in Essential Commodities
The investment program will transform TRV into the Adriatic’s premier agricultural gateway, leveraging Euroports’ 25+ years expertise in the dry bulk logistics. The expansion directly supports Euroports’ 40% GHG reduction target by 2030 through a planned 30% modal shift from road to rail transport.
The facility will expand cargo handling capacity to 3.56 million tons by 2050, supported by upgraded storage facilities, expanded silos, and significantly enhanced rail infrastructure with multimodal connectivity.
Commodities Expertise Driving Regional Growth
Drawing on proven expertise in agribulk operations (~1 MTonnes annually), TRV will benefit from Euroports’ comprehensive food safety certifications including GMP+ and HACCP. The terminal’s strategic positioning serves the company’s broader dry bulk network, which connects farm-to-market supply chains across Europe with 25+ years of specialized handling experience.
“For Euroports, Venice and the Port of Marghera represent far more than strategic infrastructure – they embody our commitment to essential commodity supply chains that serve European markets,” said Frederic Platini, CEO & Vice Chairman Euroports.
Long-Term Value Creation
The 25-year concession brings unmatched stability to the Venice operation, following the company’s established model of long-term partnerships with blue-chip clients.
