Contship Italia has unveiled a bold strategic investment plan aimed at bolstering the LSCT terminal’s position and fostering continued growth. Tom Eckelmann, a key figure in the company, reaffirmed Eurokai’s unwavering support during a recent visit.
In a two-day meeting held between the Melzo and Spezia offices, Tom Eckelmann, a board member and shareholder of Contship Italia Group, reiterated Eurokai’s firm commitment to aiding the company’s expansion amidst significant transformations and development initiatives. Eckelmann conveyed a message of steadfastness and optimism to top management and staff, underlining Contship’s pivotal role as a leading operator in Italy and the Mediterranean.
Part of the strategic plan involves injecting 50 million euros into further enhancing the LSCT terminal, in addition to the already earmarked 250 million euros for the Ravano extension project. These investments, slated for completion within the next two years, will primarily target the modernization of the Fornelli quay and the acquisition of new equipment, thereby ensuring the terminal’s competitiveness and operational efficiency.
Matthieu Gasselin, CEO of Contship Italia Group, emphasized the significance of these investments in navigating the dynamic and fiercely competitive landscape. He remarked, “The investment plan reflects the shareholders’ commitment to fostering terminal development and enhancing our operational capabilities, ultimately elevating the level of service we provide to our clients.”
Amidst discussions with employees, Tom Eckelmann took a moment to honor the late Contship Italia Group President, Cecilia Eckelmann Battistello, whose visionary leadership played a pivotal role in steering the company towards growth and international prominence.
The announcement underscores Contship Italia’s dedication to staying at the forefront of the maritime industry, with a keen focus on innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
