    THE North Tyrrhenian port system will have to process thousands of containers coming into northern Italy that cannot be delivered to companies who are now in "non-essential" business mode.

    It takes four weeks for a ship from Asia to reach the north Tyrrhenian coast and ports will now have to temporarily store a significant quantity of containers.

    To avoid heavy port storage costs and congestion the port community has come together as one group, including the Port System Authority of the Eastern Ligurian Sea, Contship Italia Group, Tarros Group, the Association of Shippers, Customs Association and Maritime Agents and Consignees, of the port of La Spezia to offer from March 26 a number of solutions.

    These solutions include the availability of 100,000 TEU of local storage capacity within a radius of 15 kilometres from the port of La Spezia as well as the intermodal-hubs in Melzo (Milan), Dinazzano (Reggio Emilia) and Padua, reported AJOT.

    Short-haul solutions will be available at Interporto di Santo Stefano Magra/La Spezia including customs clearance, temporary storage, VAT storage and potentially, a handling service for palletised loads, thanks to local operators who have combined to share storage facilities and covered warehousing.

    Similar solutions will also be available at the intermodal centres operated by Contship Italia Group, the parent company that manages La Spezia Container Terminal. Customers will have a several integrated solutions available to them during this challenging time, with more storage options and services to meet current market needs.

    Each week, three services from Asia call at the port of La Spezia deploying containerships with a capacity of more than 14,000 TEU, operated by 2M, THE Alliance and Ocean Alliance. Factory production in China is recovering, albeit slowly and are now shipping the back log of orders that built up during the lock-down imposed in January and February by the Chinese government.

    Sistema Porto president Alessandro Laghezza said: "Shippers in our territory and the management of the Contship Group rallied together in just 24 hours to assess every possible storage and transportation solution available in the short and medium-range, to support port customers who now face another big blow to their businesses due to the suspension of receiving and industrial activities."
