The canal bed is being deepened to -11.50 m. and this new depth will soon allow for access of ships with a draft of up to 35 ft and safer navigation during darkness. Moreover, the project and procedures for the canal bed dredging to -14.50 m. has already begun. In a few years the port of Ravenna will be ready to accomodate vessels with a draft of up to 44 ft thus allowing for the accomodation of bulk carriers with a load capacity of over 50,000 tons and container carriers with a capacity of over 4-5,000 TEUs. |
