LIVORNO – The Management Committee of the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea Port System Authority approved today the 2025 management report. The budget confirms a marked financial solidity and growth in revenues, marking a strategic acceleration on the investment front: with 102.5 million euros committed to infrastructural modernization, the Authority has almost doubled spending volumes compared to 2024.

From the data illustrated this morning by the budget manager, Simone Gagliani, it emerges that among the main interventions financed with state and own resources, for Livorno stand out the reorganization of the Livorno Porto Nuovo railway link (5.2 million euros), the restoration of part of the east quay of the Industrial Canal (9 million), the redevelopment intervention of the fishing area of the Darsena Vecchia (2.7 million), the development and implementation of the port security CCTV system (1.4 million euros).

Regarding the port of Piombino, the Port System Authority has allocated one million euros for the technical-economic feasibility design of the west quay of the Darsena Nord. This investment adds to the significant interventions, currently being finalized, such as the construction of cold ironing, the system for supplying electricity to ships from the quay. The works, started in 2024, are now in the final phase both in the port of Piombino and in that of Portoferraio on Elba, and represent a further step forward in the commitment made by the Port System Authority to ensure sustainable development for its ports.

The port authority has also financed, with over 7 million euros of its own resources, multiple extraordinary maintenance interventions. Another 4 million euros were invested in the creation of projects, studies pertaining to the strategic development of the port, and in expenses for port security, while 50 million from the EIB loan were earmarked for maritime works and dredging of the Darsena Europa.

Current revenues amounted to 54 million euros, of which 29.2 million were tax revenues, coming from the transfer of taxes on loaded and unloaded goods (for 17 million) and anchorage taxes (for 11.8 million euros). The authority also collected 18 million euros in revenue from state property concession fees.

As of December 31, 2025, the operating surplus has decreased by over 23 million euros compared to the beginning of the year, in the face of the substantial investments committed, and today amounts to a total of 63.2 million euros.

During the meeting, the Management Committee then approved the Annual Report, which highlights the Authority’s progress on sustainability, with the advancement of cold ironing works in Piombino, Portoferraio and Livorno, and a strong investment in digitalization (cloud services) and professional training of port workers.

From the document emerges, in particular, the commitment made by the authority in terms of accelerating the spending of capital resources, preventing corruption in the Public Administration, and ensuring safety in port operations.

All objectives considered strategic by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.

“The results of the 2025 financial report paint the picture of a solid and dynamic body, capable of transforming resources into concrete works for the territory,” stated the President of the AdSP, Davide Gariglio. “The doubling of investments, which reached 102.5 million euros, is not just an accounting figure, but tangible proof of a strategic acceleration impressed upon the modernization of our ports,” he added.

For Gariglio, this budget represents a solid foundation to continue focusing on three fundamental pillars of his mandate: environmental sustainability (through cold ironing), infrastructural innovation, and the raising of port labor skills.
