The "Motorways of the Sea" new Terminal
The new Motorways of the Sea terminal, operational by 2014 and linked to the rail network, will have its own logistics platform and will be able to serve up to 1,200 ferries.
The project
The new Motorways of the Seas terminal will be constructed in Fusina at the junction between the southern industrial channel and the Malamocco-Marghera channel. It will be equipped with 4 quays to berth simultaneously up to 4 ships.
It will serve rolling stock traffic, i.e. ferries transporting trucks or their trailers (Ro-Ro) and ferries carrying cars and passengers (Ro-Pax).
In addition to the new port infrastructure, the project envisages the erection, in an area of 36 hectares, of a new logistics platform with links to rail and roadways, new buildings, warehouses, classification yards and parking lots.
The project will be implemented using the project financing tool and will involve a group of Venetian businesses that have joined forces to establish the Venice Ro-Port MoS consortium that will manage it for 40 years
