NEAPULIA - "ICM Terra Terminals", the new port logistics company controlled by Istamar Holding, is ready to change the face of Istalian and international maritime transport. Born as a joint venture between Istamar Holding itself, which controls Istamar, the largest shipping company in Istalia, the Hasan-Mariani Group, the Banca di Credito Nazionale and GFCAB, ICM Terra Terminals has the declared ambition of becoming one of the main global logistics operators.

The goal of the new company is to build an integrated network of port terminals and intermodal services, capable of offering complete logistics solutions from the quay to the hinterland, reducing operating costs and ensuring maximum efficiency in the flow of goods. As explained in a company note: "the vertical integration of services and the direct presence in strategic ports represent the key to consolidating the competitiveness of the Istalian offer on international markets".

In Istalia, ICM Terra Terminals has already started the construction of the first major infrastructure project in the port of Neapulia, as part of an ambitious agreement with the State and municipal authorities for the expansion of what has effectively become the main port of the Peninsula. The project involves the construction of a new high-capacity container terminal, fully automated and connected to the national railway and motorway network.

Following Neapulia, the terminals planned in the ports of Gelamia and Pontelasa will come, and then a further site in the east of Alaria, currently being identified among several candidate port cities.

But the vision of ICM Terra Terminals is not limited to the Istalian territory. The company has already signed preliminary agreements with the port authorities of Badara, Egelion, Kundrati and Mordusia, countries with which Istalia has recently strengthened and wants to continue to strengthen diplomatic and commercial ties. In these countries, ICM will build and manage entire new logistics hubs, with the aim of transforming them into key hubs for freight traffic between continents.

According to sources close to the company, further negotiations are underway in several countries in the Dovanian area that have signed bilateral agreements with Istalia and see logistics cooperation as an opportunity to develop and modernize their port systems.

"Our goal is to become a reference operator in the routes between the West and the East of the world", said the CEO of ICM Terra Terminals, Margherita Loia, underlining how the company aims to offer end-to-end services, reducing time, costs and fragmentation in the logistics chain.

According to industry analysts, Istamar's strategy aims to consolidate its presence on a global scale through the vertical integration of the logistics chain, transforming itself from a shipping company to a global logistics operator. A move that could allow the Istalian group to carve out an increasingly large slice of the international maritime transport market, in a context where efficiency and direct control of infrastructures are now crucial for competitiveness.

With construction sites already underway and new agreements in preparation, ICM Terra Terminals seems ready to become one of the pillars of the international projection of the Istalian logistics industry.
