TRIESTE –<\/strong> Green light for the extension of the port rail-shunting incentive. With an amendment to the Milleproroghe Decree, the measure is extended until 31 December 2030 and becomes structural.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Support for last-mile rail operations comes after the European Commission\u2019s authorisation granted in January,<\/strong> which allowed Italy to incentivise freight rail shunting within port areas. The measure, due to expire in December 2026, will now be extended by a further four years, once the decree\u2019s conversion into law is completed by 1 March.<\/p>\n

The fund provides for a maximum contribution of \u20ac500,000 per year for each Port System Authority, for a total of \u20ac30 million over the reference period<\/strong>. Shunting operators accessing the resources will be required to pass 50% of the amount on to railway undertakings. In practice, it takes the shape of a \u2018port Ferrobonus\u2019, aimed at reducing the cost of rail operations inside ports.<\/p>\n

The intervention comes against a backdrop of declining rail freight traffic in ports. According to RFI data, between 2021 and 2025 the number of freight trains fell by around 5%.<\/strong> Behind the drop are not only geopolitical tensions and infrastructure constraints on the network, but also the weight of rail-shunting service costs.<\/p>\n

Clemente Carta, president of Fermerci<\/strong>, welcomed the approval of the amendment, calling it a first concrete step in support of the sector. According to Carta, however, the market continues to show signs of stress, as demonstrated by the overall 2025 figures, which record a broad decline across the main indicators. Hence the call for greater attention and further support measures for rail freight, especially at a time when the entire logistics supply chain is facing a complex market environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
