TRIESTE – Interporto Centro Ingrosso di Pordenone has taken another step towards establishing the public-private joint venture that will manage its intermodal terminal. The company’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the report required by law, opening the final stage of the authorisation process involving shareholders and oversight authorities.
With this resolution, the company’s part of the process has been completed. The documentation will now be submitted to the Pordenone-Udine Chamber of Commerce, the Municipality of Pordenone, the company’s shareholders, the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) and the Regional Section of the Court of Auditors, all of which are required to assess the compliance of the transaction with the applicable regulatory framework. Once the required opinions have been obtained, the shareholders’ meeting will be able to approve the establishment of the NewCo and launch the public tender to select the industrial partner. The process is expected to be completed by mid-2027.
Chief Executive Officer Sergio Bolzonello explained that the decision stems from the need to overcome the limitations of the current management model. «The Intermodal Terminal is a strategic infrastructure for the regional production system. In recent years, we have found that the outsourced management model no longer guarantees the stability and development capacity required. Establishing a public-private joint venture is the solution that combines public oversight, industrial expertise and operational continuity.»
The project envisages the creation of a limited liability company jointly owned by Pordenone Interport and a private operator selected through a dual-purpose public tender. The procedure will simultaneously identify both the majority shareholder of the NewCo and the terminal operator, with the aim of ensuring stable governance, industrial management of logistics activities and continued public control over infrastructure considered strategic.
