TRAIANA Srl, Stevedoring Company - Forwarding Agents - Customs Brokers, was established in 1945 by a joint action of some entrepreneurs already operating in the Port of Civitavecchia.
Alberto La Rosa, Pietro Verrieri, Gioacchino Laurenti, Giuseppe Barraco, Antonio Zannotti, were the founding members.
Over the years, the Company has grown up its business according to a main "multipurpose" policy, handling any type of cargo such as woodpulp, frozen products, fruit and vegetables.
From the very beginning the Company operated as a terminal for the import / export of steel products of Terni plant, which is still its main client.
Following the entry into force of the Law 84/94, Traiana Srl acquired the status of Port Company under Article 16 of the said Law.
At the time of the expansion of the Port, in the year 2000, Traiana Srl was the first Company to see the good potential of its development and it got a State concession of about 25.000 square metres just on the new quay n. 23, with the main purpose of storing and handling steel products.
Two functional large warehouses were built on this area.
Over the next decade an evolutionary process was developed, leading to triple its tonnage, turnover and number of employees.
Furthermore, suitable equipment and facilities were also acquired in order to enable full handling operation for any type of goods. In particular, in addition to the aforementioned steel products, the Company has specialized in handling, loading and unloading of heavy machinery (Project Cargo).
In 2010, the State concession was renewed until 31/10/2030 and extended to over 30.000 square metres.
In 2012 the “Gestione Terminals Civitavecchia S.r.l.” (Civitavecchia Terminals Management Ltd.), of which Traiana is the majority shareholder, was established by the main Port Companies of Civitavecchia, and it implemented the acquisition of the Port Authority cranes fleet.
This was the final step towards the full functional autonomy of the Company.
In December 2019, Traiana obtained the release of the additional concession pursuant to art.18 of Law 84/94, the extension of the surface to about 50.000 square meters and the exclusive use of dock 23
The competence and professionalism of the staff, the important outfit of the resources and infrastructures, the availability of working and storage areas, the continuous investment in R&D, have attracted the interest of large international groups, such as "AST - Acciai Speciali Terni" (steel producers and dealers) and others.
Currently Traiana is clearly the main Company in the Port of Civitavecchia.
