TRIESTE — The acquisition of a stake in Interporto Bologna by Medlog Holding Italia, a company of the MSC Group, marks one of the key outcomes of the shareholders’ meeting, which approved the 2025 financial statements and the full subscription to the capital increase.
The shareholders’ meeting, held today, approved the financial statements and confirmed the completion of the capital increase approved in December 2024. This capital strengthening was supported by several long-standing shareholders—the Metropolitan City of Bologna, the Bologna Chamber of Commerce, and Mercitalia Rail—and, above all , by the entry of Medlog Holding Italia, a company specializing in logistics and rail and road freight transport that is part of the MSC Group.
For Interporto Bologna, this is a strategic move, as Medlog is already one of the rail terminal’s main customers for maritime intermodal traffic. The entry of a leading industrial operator aims to bolster the development of rail services and intermodal transport, thereby strengthening the intermodal terminal’s role as a national and international logistics hub.
Chairman Stefano Caliandro emphasized that the new public-private corporate structure, together with the collaboration with the FS Group and Medlog, will make it possible to accelerate the business plan, increase rail freight volumes, and support the company’s growth initiatives.
At the same time , infrastructure investments are continuing. The expansion of the rail terminal is underway, which includes extending the platform by 115,000 square meters, adding 750 meters of new tracks, and installing new gantry cranes. The project is expected to be completed by 2026.
Interporto Bologna is also strengthening its network of partnerships within the Emilia-Romagna logistics system. Among the most recent initiatives are the establishment of ROLER—the Emilia-Romagna Logistics Operators Network—in collaboration with Dinazzano Po, SAPIR, and Rail Traction Company—to promote rail freight transport and integration with the Port of Ravenna and the Brenner Corridor—as well as the renewal of the ER.I.C. protocol dedicated to the development of regional intermodality.
From a financial standpoint, the 2025 financial statements show a production value of 12.44 million euros. The fiscal year once again ended with a loss, a result the company attributes both to investments that are still maturing and to the 8% decline in rail freight transport in Italy and Europe during the 2022–2025 period. Despite the challenging environment, in 2025 the trains passing through the intermodal terminal traveled a total of 1.2 million kilometers, preventing approximately 60,700 trucks from hitting the road and resulting in a reduction in CO₂ emissions of over 17,200 metric tons. The industrial park is currently home to 130 companies and more than 6,500 employees.
