Italy: Türkiye’s Medcem Group has commissioned a new cement terminal at the Port of Trieste, strengthening its footprint in Europe and providing direct access to the Italian, Slovenian and Croatian markets. The Trieste terminal has been developed through a partnership with Seadock, part of the Samer Group, reviving previously underutilised port infrastructure and converting it into a modern bulk cement logistics facility. The project represents a brownfield investment of more than €3m. The facility is equipped with an unloading system that enables bulk cement to be transferred directly from vessels into storage silos via an underground pipeline. The terminal is expected to add around 120,000t/yr of cargo capacity to the port.
