Mareco Global applauds the Port of Cagliari for achieving the highest container arrival punctuality score among all Italian ports—boasting an impressive 81.2% on‑time performance, according to an independent ranking by Sea‑Intelligence.
Cagliari ranks 17th globally and second in Europe, trailing only Vlissingen (85.2%), and stands out notably given its lower traffic volumes compared to major hubs. This recognition underscores the port’s operational efficiency, terminal productivity, and the capacity to minimize vessel waiting times at anchorage.
The punctuality ranking reflects not only the reliability of shipping lines, but also the terminal performance and congestion management—areas in which the MITO terminal of Grendi has excelled, operating at consistently high standards even amid growing demand.
Musso, a spokesperson for Grendi, shared: “With the upcoming 20‑year concession replacing the expiring four‑year permit, we plan to order a new mobile quay crane shortly”—a move that promises to further elevate Cagliari’s handling capabilities and service levels .
