Emergency plan & restrictions due to volcanic eruption

24 Oct 2022 / Milazzo, Italy

Orange Code is in force at the Port of Milazzo due to the eruption of the Stromboli volcano.

Under Orange Code, the terminal is allowed to berth a maximum of 4 vessels, specifically for Jetty No.2 (on starboard side only, Berth O5-05/Bis used for CPP/DPP and Berth O7 used for LPG are located). Terminal is allowed to berth only one vessel, therefore if Pier O5 is occupied, another vessel cannot be berthed at Pier O7, and vice versa.

All normal port services will be arranged and provided as per standard port ordinance, but berthing/unberthing manoeuvres are subject to normal night restrictions.
