en.Wedoany.com Reported - PSA Intermodal Italy and Logtainer have signed a final agreement to jointly manage the intermodal terminal at the Interporto Padova freight hub in Padua, Italy, and will establish a new operating company to strengthen Padua's position in European inland logistics.

The new company will be named PSA Padova. According to PSA, the company will officially take over the management and development of the terminal based on the tender authorization obtained in December 2025.

Under this partnership, PSA Intermodal Italy, a subsidiary of PSA Italy, will hold a majority stake in the new company and assume operational responsibilities. Interporto Padova will remain a shareholder, keeping the terminal within the local logistics system, while Logtainer will contribute its operational expertise in Italy's intermodal transport sector.

This project is part of PSA's broader "node-to-network" strategy, which aims to integrate ports, inland terminals, and transport corridors into a more complete logistics ecosystem.

Located in northeastern Italy, Interporto Padova is connected to the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and serves as a key inland gateway for freight movement linking Italy's industrial zones, seaports, and the wider European market.

PSA stated that the goal is to develop the terminal into an open, multi-user platform, improving connections between rail, road, and ports, while supporting more efficient and lower-emission inland logistics operations.

This move gives PSA a deeper foothold in Italy's intermodal market and complements its existing port terminal operations in Genoa and Venice. PSA Italy operates terminals including PSA Genova Pra', PSA SECH, and PSA Venice-Vecon, with an annual handling capacity of over 2 million TEUs, accounting for approximately one-quarter of Italy's total container import and export volume.
