Porto di Civitavecchia, riapre Porta Marina: un nuovo collegamento tra il porto storico e la città
CIVITAVECCHIA, 11 agosto 2026 – È stato inaugurato questa mattina, a Porta Marina, il nuovo varco pedonale che, dopo decenni di chiusura, torna a essere pienamente fruibile dalla comunità, creando un nuovo collegamento diretto tra il porto storico e la città. Alla cerimonia hanno partecipato il Presidente dell’Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Tirreno Centro Settentrionale, Raffaele Latrofa, il Sindaco di Civitavecchia, Marco Piendibene, il Capitano di Fregata della Capitaneria di porto di Civitavecchia, Valerio Mazzarino e l’Assessore all’Ambiente e al Demanio marittimo del Comune di Civitavecchia, Stefano Giannini. La riapertura di Porta Marina rappresenta un ulteriore passo nel percorso di valorizzazione del porto storico e di progressiva integrazione tra lo scalo e il tessuto urbano. L’intervento si inserisce nel più ampio processo di riassetto del porto di Civitavecchia che, con i lavori di apertura a sud dello scalo, ha consentito di ridurre il transito veicolare all’interno dell’area storica del porto, favorendo una maggiore fruizione pedonale di uno degli spazi più suggestivi della città e rafforzando il rapporto tra il waterfront e il centro urbano. Con Porta Marina diventano a quattro i varchi pedonali a disposizione della cittadinanza: oltre al nuovo accesso, sono infatti attivi il varco Fortezza, la Scaletta e Porta Livorno. “La riapertura di Porta Marina è un intervento dal forte valore simbolico, ma anche molto concreto – dichiara il Presidente dell’AdSP Raffaele Latrofa – perché restituiamo alla città un accesso che era chiuso da decenni e che, oggi, torna a essere un punto di connessione diretto tra il porto storico e Civitavecchia. Il nostro obiettivo è rendere il porto sempre più aperto, accessibile e integrato con la città, creando le condizioni perché il porto storico possa essere vissuto sempre più anche dai cittadini. La riduzione del traffico veicolare e l’ampliamento degli accessi pedonali vanno esattamente in questa direzione. È un percorso che intendiamo proseguire, con interventi capaci di coniugare funzionalità, sicurezza, decoro e valorizzazione di un patrimonio che appartiene alla storia e all’identità di Civitavecchia”. “La riapertura di Porta Marina aggiunge un nuovo tassello al rapporto sempre più stretto tra il porto e la città – dichiara il Sindaco Marco Piendibene –. Due realtà che devono continuare a dialogare e a integrarsi, rendendo sempre più accessibile ai cittadini un patrimonio che è parte integrante della storia di Civitavecchia. È anche il risultato di una positiva sinergia istituzionale, per la quale ringrazio il Presidente Raffaele Latrofa e tutti i soggetti che hanno contribuito a rendere possibile questa apertura”. "Abbiamo sostenuto fin dall’inizio la riapertura di Porta Marina, portando anche nelle sedi competenti una richiesta arrivata da molti cittadini – dichiara l’Assessore all’Ambiente Stefano Giannini –. Oggi quell’obiettivo diventa realtà e restituisce alla città un collegamento importante con il suo porto storico. È un risultato che migliora l’accessibilità e la fruibilità di quest’area e che va nella direzione che abbiamo auspicato: rendere sempre più semplice e diretto il rapporto tra Civitavecchia, i suoi cittadini e il porto”. Il nuovo varco resterà aperto tutti i giorni dalle ore 5 alle 23, secondo le modalità già previste per gli altri accessi pedonali, per poi essere chiuso dal personale della Port Authority Security. L’area è stata oggetto di interventi di sistemazione da parte dell’AdSP, con particolare attenzione al decoro degli spazi circostanti, attraverso l’installazione di fioriere. Porta Marina è, inoltre, videosorvegliata e dotata di un dissuasore che consente esclusivamente il passaggio pedonale e quello delle carrozzine per le persone con disabilità, impedendo l’accesso a biciclette e ciclomotori. Una soluzione pensata per garantire sicurezza, ordine e piena accessibilità del nuovo collegamento.
CMB.Tech has sold the 2024-built Suezmax Bristol for a $56.9m gain as it continues to capitalise on historically strong tanker values.
CMB.Tech has sold the 2024-built Suezmax Bristol for a $56.9m gain as it continues to capitalise on historically strong tanker values. August 11, 2026 CMB.Tech announced it has sold the 2024-builtEuronavSuezmaxBristolfor a capital gain of around $56.9m. The deal is far from the first time CMB.Tech has cashed in on high asset prices in recent months; the owner has sold a total of $626.6m worth of vessels in 2026 to date, according to a tally of those in its first quarter 2026 results and subsequent announcements. A week ago, the owner of tanker brand Euronav announced it hadsold the 2016-built VLCC Donoussa for a capital gain of around $74.4m. In late June, CMB.Tech announced thedisposal of 2023-built SuezmaxesBrestandBruggefor a capital gain of $100.5m for delivery in Q3. CMB.Tech’s second quarter results are due on 27 August, but in its first quarter results in May the company said it had delivered eight vessels in the first quarter — two Capesizes and sixVLCCs— and was due to deliver a further two VLCCs and one Suezmax in the second quarter. Related:ADNOC L&S bolsters tanker fleet with $1.3bn acquisitions Commenting on the June sale of Bristol’s sister ships CMB.Tech CEO, Alexander Saverys, said: “Historically strong Suezmax valuations have created an opportunity to unlock value at an attractive point in the cycle. We will deploy those returns in line with our capital allocation strategy and invest in the continued growth of our diversified maritime group."Saverys previously said that the company’s strategy was to strengthen its balance sheet and pay dividends in the current red-hot market, while using some of the strength to lock in to longer term charters. Bristolwill be delivered to its new owner in the fourth quarter of 2026. Antwerp-based CMB.Tech has a fleet of around 250 vessels across dry bulk, tankers, container ships and offshore vessels.

A series of typhoons has caused delays at Chinese terminals with Linerlytica reporting that the backlog has caused a shortage of capacity on the European trades
A series of typhoons has caused delays at Chinese terminals with Linerlytica reporting that the backlog has caused a shortage of capacity on the European trades August 11, 2026 Container ship capacity delayed in Asia following a series of tropical storms has reached 2.4 million teu and has seen carriers revert services to the Red Sea to compensate. Long delays are expected to spread along China’s eastern seaboard fromShanghaito Ningbo as far south as the country’s Guangdong ports, after terminal operations halted on 7 and 8 August, and it is expected to take weeks before the backlog is cleared. “Typhoon Dolphin hit China’s eastern coasts on 9 August 2026. The tropical storm is the third and strongest to hit China in the last five weeks alone, forcing ships to take shelter away from the path of the typhoon,” commented Linerlytica. Asian port congestion has seen bothMaerskandCMA CGMlook to free up capacity by returning three services loops via the Bab el Mandeb in “defiance of the Houthi threat”, said Linerlytica, withCosco Shipping expected to join them. “These moves are aimed at combating the shortage of vessels and container equipment that have been made worse by protracted port congestion across North Asia and Europe,” reported Linerlytica in its weekly market report. Related:Typhoons and AI boost transpacific container rates Peter Sand, senior analyst at Xeneta noted that transits via the Bab el Mandeb had declined in recent weeks and is sceptical about whether the latest rerouting of vessels is connected to Asian congestion. “It would make sense if that was the reason for the extra services going through Suez soonish. But it's not a quick fix - and I would hesitate to connect the two events,” commented Sand. Xeneta also pointed out that while the backlog may seem enormous Asian ports can recover at speed, pointing to Shanghai making more than 200,000 container moves in a single day. Meanwhile, Cosco Shipping could also join CMA CGM and Maersk on theSuezroute with the expansion of its Red Sea and Mediterranean services by utilising space on its multi-purpose vessels, of which the Chinese operator has 20 vessels of up to 3,600 teu, already deployed on these trades. Even though Linerlytica reports that Asian port congestion is tightening available capacity the consultant has reported that European spot rates have continued to slide with “softening cargo demand, dashing hopes for a mid-August rate hike According to Linerlytica spot rates to North Europe are now at between $4,300 to $4,900 per feu, “with a downward bias”. Xeneta data shows a similar North European spot rate with Mediterranean cargo at around $5,800 per feu, with both trades expected to flat line up to mid-late August after losing ground at the beginning of the month.

Nell'Oristanese il primo Villaggio delle stelle in Italia ANSA
Redazione AnsaCAGLIARI - Agosto 11,2026 - News Niente tuffi, ombrelloni, movida o star sul palco. Perché ad Allai le vere star sono proprio le stelle.Una sorta di bandiera blu. Non del mare, ma del cielo. Allai, centro di poco più di 300 abitanti dell'Oristanese, è il primo Villaggio delle stelle in Italia.Ha ottenuto la certificazione Starlight, bollino internazionale garanzia di cieli puliti: viene rilasciata dalla Fundación Starlight dell'Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), riconosciuta dall'Unione Astronomica Internazionale, dall'Unesco e dall'Organizzazione Mondiale del Turismo.E anche il piccolo centro dell'Oristanese si prepara a vivere il fenomeno dell'eclissi di sole previsto per domani sera.Niente inquinamento luminoso, molta attenzione all'ambiente: ad Allai, se si rivolge lo sguardo in alto, di notte, c'è la certezza di assistere a uno spettacolo unico. Per giunta senza pagare il biglietto. Figli delle stelle grazie a un percorso nato quattro anni fa grazie alla collaborazione tra Comune, Planetario Unione sarda e Istituto nazionale di astrofisica di Roma.Un premio guadagnato anche attraverso la sensibilizzazione dei residenti e dei bambini delle elementari e delle medie.L'amministrazione comunale poi ha fatto il suo con un'illuminazione pubblica studiata per non lasciare gli abitanti al buio, ma allo stesso tempo per non "disturbare il cielo". A completare il quadro - perché poi alla fine il risultato è una specie di Cielo stellato di Van Gogh - anche la realizzazione per l'osservazione del cielo con mappe stellari e eventi astronomici. Con l'obiettivo- anche dichiarato- di creare nuovo turismo. Ma senza toccare il cielo."La Certificazione Starlight costituisce un'opportunità di crescita per il territorio - afferma il sindaco Placido Angelino Pischedda al sito TurismoItaliaNews - favorendo lo sviluppo di iniziative legate all'osservazione astronomica, all'educazione ambientale e alla fruizione consapevole del patrimonio naturale e culturale locale".

Bookings are back on for Cosco Red Sea services, the Chinese carrier set to operate a Far East-Red Sea rotation that will see vessels cross the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, despite Iran-backed Yemeni rebel group the Houthis attacking ships in the strait. The decision by Cosco to commence Red Sea sailings continues what Vespucci Maritime CEO Lars Jensen described as “the slow normalisation of the Suez-route”, on the back of CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, and Maersk all adding capacity to the routing. Linerlytica’s Monday Market Pulse noted: “Traffic on Bab el Mandeb continues to increase, with CMA CGM and Maersk pushing three more services back to the Suez route as they continue to defy the threat of Houthi attacks. “These moves are aimed at combating the shortage of vessels and container equipment made worse by protracted port congestion across North Asia and Europe,” it added, noting Cosco already had more than 20 ships of 2,700-3,600 teu deployed on Mediterranean/Red Sea routes. And with yet another storm battering North Asia, Typhoon Dolphin, capacity is only expected to tighten, with more than 2.4m teu already stranded by the shutdown of port operations at Ningbo and Shanghai between 7 and 8 August, and the spread of congestion to Southern China. Best guess forecasts appear to indicate that clearing the backlog of vessels will take weeks, but given that Typhoon Dolphin is the third and strongest tropical storm to hit the region, seeing more than a million people evacuated, it could take longer. Sources toldThe Loadstarthe decision to route through the Red Sea, particularly given renewed Houthi threats to strike commercial shipping in response to the US/Israeli war against Iran, was “risky”. Acknowledging that the Houthis remain “the wildcard”, Mr Jensen said: “It appears clear for now their embargo on Saudi shipping is focused on the oil tanker business,” offering something of a respite for box ships that have largely been shut out of the waterway for three years. Meanwhile, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd have upped their game, with their Gemini AE19/SE4 Asia-Mediterranean service switching to a Red Sea routing, joining the AE15/SE3, which switched in July. “This gradual normalisation is in addition to CMA CGM which already operates quite a few vessels on multiple services using the Suez routing, and Cosco/OOCL which will now begin a Far East-Red Sea service also crossing Bab el-Mandeb,” Mr Jensen noted. “The CMA CGM services with some, or all, vessels operated on Asia-Europe via Suez are EPIC, FAL-1, FAL-3, OCR, MEDEX, MEX and BEX2, some of which are also Ocean Alliance services.”
