The new contract will begin on 1 October 2024 and will last until 1 October 2049. The original 25-year concession dates from 1997.
PSA Venice said it will now begin implementing its plan to improve the terminal following the renewed concession.

The terminal will also invest in more sustainable infrastructure, such as the installation of solar panels and LED light towers.
