SCT2
SCT 2 inland terminal has been developed through the creation of a dry-port area, located in the industrial area of Salerno, at the Salerno Est motorway exit, well connected to the main industrial and distribution districts in central and southern Italy.
SCT 2 extends over a yard of approximately 35,000 sqm and is primarily used for the storage of empty containers, particularly for those being restituted after an import delivery. It is equipped with a large workshop of 1,200 sqm (12 m high) for the maintenance, repair, reconstruction, washing, painting of containers, in order to make them promptly available for the export load requirements.
The terminal is equipped with 4 top-loaders, for the handling of empty containers, capable of stacking 8 tiers high, 2 self-propelled yard cranes (reach stackers) for handling full containers and other smaller equipment.
Some of the activities carried out at SCT main terminal in the in port of Salerno have been relocated in SCT 2 in order to make more free space available there, to cope with the increasing demand generated by the vessel operations.
SALERNO CONTAINER TRANSPORT
In order to enhance efficiency, market approach and cost-effectiveness in a very competitive environment, the shipping industry is keen to appoint partners-suppliers capable of offering wider integrated services.
SCT has identified an area of service integration which has received good feedback from the Shipping Lines: to directly operate and provide third party “neutral” trucking services, in addition to the terminal services, specially dedicated to the Lines for the land transportation of containers in “carrier’s haulage”.
The attraction of this arrangement is that the transport services are offered by the terminal, being a solid “recognized” third party services provider.
SCT’s mission is to operate its own fleet of trucks and its own team of truck drivers, through a fully licensed trucking division.
The choice to invest in trucks has been made by focusing on the highest efficiency, best quality, and latest technology, also in terms of safety and most the advanced eco-friendly equipment.
Two tunnels, 2,5 Km and two lanes each, connecting the port directly to the National Highway Network.
WORK IN PROGRESS
INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Salerno Container Terminal has invested in the construction and management of the new port Border Control Post adjacent to the container terminal yard.
The construction of the new Border Control Post in the port of Salerno has been completed in August 2022.
The Border Inspection and Control Post is the only point of entry into the EU for animal and plant products originating from third countries. The infrastructure, being implemented by SCT in accordance with UE regulations, will have adequate facilities, offices, cold rooms, laboratories, inspection and storage rooms, to enable the public agencies and bodies involved to provide efficient inspection of products of animal origin, both for human and non-human consumption, live animals, and plants subject to phytosanitary inspection.
The new building includes – in a single site – inspections posts for:
- Veterinary inspection
- Phytosanitary inspection
- Sanitary and hygienic Surveillance
and Regulation Service for Foreign Trade (USMAF)
- Customs control
The design of the new infrastructure has been developed by SCT, combining an excellent set up for the public services, secured by the state agencies and offices in charge, with fast and smooth handling of the cargoes to be inspected, in order to improve the overall efficiency and competitive attraction of the port of Salerno.
