Rome, Italy (Ports Europe) July 31, 2023 – The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has disbursed an advance of €14.7 million to the 12 Port System Authorities (AdSPs), thus covering half of the planned total value of the financed projects. This funding is intended to implement, secure and build crucial infrastructure for the development of important port areas, both for goods and passengers.
Italy: The Port System Authorities
Following the 15 September 2016 Legislative Decree No. 169 of 2016 (GU 31 August 2016) reorganizing the Port Authorities, 16 new Port System Authorities (AdSPs) were created in place of the current ones. The 62 ports of national importance are therefore coordinated by 16 Port System Authorities with the task of planning, coordinating and regulating the port system in the reference area.
According to Law 84-94, the AdSPs are responsible for the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the common parts in the port area, for administrative activities and for the assignment and control of the activities aimed at the supply for a fee to port users, as well as for the promotion of connection forms with rear port and inland port logistics systems.
