By DPCM (Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers) of October 5, 2022, a Simplified Logistics Zone (ZLS) was established in Veneto, centered around the Port of Venice. The Port of Venice is one of the priority maritime ports in the trans-European transport network (TEN-T), and thus meets the requirements to launch such a project.
The Simplified Logistics Zone Porto di Venezia-Rodigino is a project aimed at providing Veneto with a tool capable of acting as a driving force for the entire regional economy. This initiative has the potential to generate, over the next decade:
An additional 177,000 jobs;
A 40% increase in exports (and thus business for companies) compared to the current level in the region;
An increase in investments of 2.4 billion euros;
An average annual increase of 8.4% in container traffic (in Italy, this traffic has grown by an average of 1.1% in recent years).
The ZLS Porto di Venezia-Rodigino covers areas within the following municipalities:
Municipality of Venice: Porto Marghera, Campalto, Murano, Arsenale, Port Area, and Tronchetto;
Municipality of Chioggia: Port Area;
Polesine: Bagnolo di Po, Bergantino, Bosaro, Calto, Canaro, Castelmassa, Castelnovo Bariano, Ceneselli, Ficarolo, Fiesso Umbertiano, Gaiba, Melara, Occhiobello, Polesella, Rovigo, Salara, Stienta, Trecenta.
