Kia lands at the port of Civitavecchia, unloading the first 2000 cars

The first 2,000 KIA cars brought to Civitavecchia by the Altmann brand, which chose the port of Civitavecchia as the first port to be unloaded, were unloaded this morning by the operators of the Port Company. The cars, about 20,000 of which were unloaded during the year, were taken to the Civitavecchia Forest Park, which this morning received a visit from the vice president of the Lazio Region, Roberta Angelilli, to whom the strong points were presented. hardware platform, but also important infrastructure and administrative issues. Before visiting the facility, Angelilli monitored the unloading activities of the ship that arrived at the city’s port.

“This contract between CFFT and Altmann – said Angelilli – shows that the port of Civitavecchia is not only the first port in Italy for cruise tourism, the fifth in the world, but also has potential from a traffic point of view. It was an opportunity for me to conduct an inspection and comparing myself to the reality of the CFFT. What I can say is that there is no port without a port, and this is what we need to work on. We need to respond to the needs given to us by those who work at Civitavecchia airport, who can do more. This visit is also within the scope of the discussions we are having with MIMIT, so with MISE and MIT, which is about Civitavecchia. One of the four tables, together with the one with Enel, is about the equipment. We have to think about the workers associated with TVN’s carbon emissions, but not only with the goal of keeping them and saving their jobs. The goal is to increase them.”

“We are very happy with this agreement with Altmann – explained CFFT vice president Sergio Serpente – because for the first time in the automotive sector, the port of Civitavecchia has been chosen as the first port, and not as the second or third depending on the availability of aprons of other airports. We can’t carry more than 24,000 cars a year, but we are already working to increase this number. The visit of Vice President Angelilli is a great pleasure, because it demonstrates the proximity of the Lazio Region to our port and our operations. We have highlighted important issues from an infrastructure perspective that require answers.”

“The choice of the Kia Company of the port of Civitavecchia to unload 2000 cars today only and around 20,000 throughout the year – announced the Development Councilor Francesco Serpa Serpa – for us represents something very important for the development of the area. We really believe in this project and development, which can contribute in some way to overcome the employment problems that we all know about TVN’s move away from Coal”.
