Consortium of the ports of the Middle Tyrrhenian

The Consortium of the ports of the Middle Tyrrhenian, which includes Civitavecchia, Fiumicino, Gaeta, Olbia, Golfo Aranci, Cagliari and Porto Torres, is much  more than the meeting of seven ports: it’s the will to make a concrete response to the daily need to bring the Continent closer to Sardinia and to offer a truly “unique” service, of high quality and competitive rates.
Unique especially because of the tourism, reception, transport and commercial offer, promoted together through the development of a co-ordinated image. The uniqueness of the offer allows CoMeTi to be a fundamental junction in the international shipping network.
More than a port taken in numeric terms, as a good seven ports in two Italian regions in the heart of the Mediterranean have decided to form a consortium to offer a range of distinct opportunities to shipbuilders and passengers; but also in qualitative terms  as the seven ports give access to areas of immeasurable historic, artistic and landscape beauty. In fact, besides the Ports of the Middle Tyrrhenian, the consortium includes the cities of Cagliari, Civitavecchia, Fiumicino, Gaeta, Golfo Aranci, Olbia and Porto Torres, the Chambers of Commerce of Cagliari, Latina, Rome and Sassari and Confitarma, the Italian Shipowners’ Association. The collection of these  bodies and Port Authorities makes up today’s most important  laboratory-observatory of the dynamics of management and planning of new infrastructures to serve logistics and port activities.
The activities of analysis, strategy and direction carried out by the Consortium, established in 2001, have brought an accurate recognition of the state of the infrastructure of the seven ports, of the correspondence to the territorial continuity from and for Sardinia as well as to the study of the redefinition of rates.

Total Quality
Among the Consortium’s goals is locating financing both at the national and European level to create structures and infrastructures that can improve the quality of  services offered, having Total Quality as the final objective.
Coastal navigation and short sea shipping
CoMeTi through the development of maritime coastal navigation and of short sea shipping, connected to an intermodal vision of the transport chain, wants to support the economy beyond that of the tourist offer of the territories involved. So this means progress for the ports but also progress in social and economic terms in the two regions.
