…progress in Rijeka
A maintenance dredging programme in the Port of Rijeka being carried out by Transagent is due for completion this month. According to Antonio Passaro, the newly-appointed managing director of ICTSI affiliate Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT), this will guarantee a depth of 11.7m at the main quay and ensure that ships deployed in Upper Adriatic trades can call without first having to handle Croatia o/d containers in Koper.
