Port of Trieste: Santos delegation visiting for future commercial agreements

Develop maritime commercial agreements with the port of Trieste, on the model of the agreements signed with the port of Genoa. This is the purpose of the visit of Marcelo Zovico, of the Port Authority of Santos (Brazil), who initiated a series of contacts and also participated in the Adria Shipping Summit two days ago, in the Maritime Station.

The port of Santos, in the state of Sao Paulo, is the most important port in Latin America.

In the last year, Zovico explained, "perhaps also due to the Trump effect", there has been a significant growth in trade between Italy and Brazil, therefore the attention on the Julian capital is also increasing. "The position of Trieste is interesting, also and above all a reference point for the European market", indicated Zovico. Therefore not only a door to Italy but to Europe, considering the mainly railway infrastructure of the Italian port. For the Brazilian manager "a comparison is possible between the ports of Santos and Trieste", which also share "more or less the same problems", a reference to the need for "growth and environmental problems".

"There are currently no direct commercial relations between Santos and Trieste but they can be developed: this is the objective of this visit", added Zovico. Recalling that "last year a bilateral agreement was signed between the ports of Santos and Genoa precisely to identify forms of commercial development".
