| New Rome facility

TENDERS have been issued by Rome Cruise Terminal at Civitavecchia for the redevelopment of one of its major cruise terminals.

The replacement of the existing Terminal Bramante (pictured) will see the new facility handle ship turnarounds with up to 4,000 passengers, with space for an expanded luggage hall and up to 40 check-in desks.

Work is expected to start in the second half of this year, with a heavy focus on green technology expected to form key elements of construction.

The first passengers are expected to pass through the new facility during the 2025 summer peak, with more than 800,000 travellers expected in its first full year.
