Kalport Extension
An 18-month extension, until Nov. 26, 2026, has been approved for “Karalis for the transhipment work” (Kalport srl). This extension aims to provide continued wage and training support to former employees of the Canale Porto container operations.
Waterfront Redevelopment
The ATF to Cagliari’s port regulatory plan adds to the waterfront’s redevelopment, focusing on tourism and recreation. The proposal, reviewed by the Superior Council of Public Works, allows for a 30-metre extension of the coast at calata dei Trinitari, currently used for pleasure boat moorings. This reconfiguration will create a transversal pier extending the Bonaria brush and new spaces for nautical activities.
The updated plan aims to accommodate 2,200 boats, a important increase from the current capacity of just over 820.
Salt Warehouse Enhancement
The ATF expands the permitted uses of the salt warehouse area. Future dealers, selected through public procedures, can utilize the space for cultural events, fairs, exhibitions, sports activities related to boating, company headquarters, accommodation, refreshment facilities, commercial activities, maritime management offices, and small boat repair and maintenance.

The management committee acknowledged the full achievement of the president’s objectives for 2024.
The measures adopted in today’s session of the Management Committee, as well as consolidating the already lively operations of the airports and port companies, they introduce new and critically important rules for the release of maritime state concessions in the areas of competence of the body… the new regulation of use is perfectly aligned with current regulations and introduces a series of evaluation criteria, by the offices, which will allow a wider competitiveness of the market and, above all, a more correct and reliable management of the property by the dealers.
