TRIESTE – SDC Servizio Doganale Containers is expanding its activity in Porto Marghera with a new 2,000-square-meter covered warehouse dedicated to the storage and handling of goods at ambient temperature.
The new space for the customs operator — whose headquarters are in Marghera and which also has offices in Trieste, Koper, and Rijeka, as well as in Padua, Mantua, Ravenna, and Ancona – has been leased from the Port System Authority that manages the ports of Venice and Chioggia and is located in the southern industrial zone of Porto Marghera, within the former MonteSyndial area.
“It will have the status of a customs warehouse, features large areas for heavy vehicles, and is located close to the future berthing area,” the note states.
The investment is part of the larger redevelopment project already underway with the works for the first construction phase, which include equipping the quay and a strip of yard of about 50 meters behind it. «The North Adriatic Sea Port Authority — confirms SDC president Stefano Coccon — has an ambitious and significant redevelopment plan for the MonteSyndial area: a concrete and important project for the future of the Port of Venice, which we strongly believe in».
Going into detail, «within the broader area recovery plan», the Venetian Authority, Coccon further explains, «has made available to companies several buildings that required only limited and not overly onerous maintenance work. We at Servizio Doganale Containers decided to seize this opportunity immediately: being the holders of a warehouse in this location primarily gives substance to our confidence in the redevelopment project, and we are certain that having a warehouse facing the quay is an excellent investment». According to Coccon, there is a concrete possibility to show the market that the Venice port system is alive and capable of offering innovative and competitive solutions. «We — concludes Coccon — intend to be protagonists in this transformation».
Last year SDC, a historic customs forwarder in the Port of Venice, announced that it had introduced artificial intelligence into the complex management of customs procedures.
