The planned works have the dual objective to maintain and to deepen the depth alongside quaylines to cater for the arrival of the next generation ultra-large cruise vessels: the draft by the Ponte dei Mille Cruise Terminal is set to increase to up to -11 metres and to -10 metres along the Ferry Terminal docks. Genoa's passenger port is today the focus of the daily excavation of 3500 cubic metres of sediment, equal to the size of a 4-storey building, to guarantee the completion of dredging operations in this area by the spring.
The project forms part of the wide-ranging plan to upgrade the docks of Genoa Sampierdarena's cargo terminals and Old Port passenger terminals to improve accessibility by sea on the part of the ultra-large container and cruise ships.
