GIP is a leading container terminal platform in Northern Italy, holding stakes in two consolidated terminals in Genoa (PSA GP, PSA SECH), one in Venice (PSA VECON) and controlling one in Livorno (TDT). These high-quality well-invested assets provide deep-water access to the shipping lines serving the attractive commercial and industrial markets of Northern Italy and Central Europe (including Switzerland, Austria and South Germany). The infrastructures operated by GIP are leased from local Port Authorities based on long-term concessions.
The acquisition of the business alongside our partners of Infracapital and PSA (Port of Singapore) from Genoese families in 2017 aimed at accelerating the development of terminals able to accommodate increasingly large vessels and to improve connections with the hinterland through intermodal solutions. Supported by the expertise of our best-in-class global partner PSA, GIP has developed a thourough asset management plan to optimize commercial effectiveness, health and safety best practices and port operations efficiency.
