Still today the port represents a key node of the logistics chain of the Italian industry in these areas. The strategic relevance of the port is today predominantly related to the import of goods and particularly of raw materi- als for the Italian industry in Northern Italy. The dredging works under implementation are aimed at keeping the port competitive and consolidate its position in the market with reference to dry bulks and import of raw materials. In order to reach both the target of greening transport and maximise the potential associated with the availability of a mod- ern and interconnected port infrastructure thanks to the ongoing investments supported by the TEN-T policy and related funds, cross-industry actions towards an increased use of the Port of Ravenna as an export gateway shall be considered for development and im- plementation.
