5 company profile The Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. was founded in 1997 by the Venice Port Authority in order to manage and improve cruise traffic in the Port of Venice. The Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. operates in the Marittima, S. Basilio and Riva dei Sette Martiri areas which stretch over a surface altogether of more than sq. m. of which the Terminals occupy sq. m. The maritime basin in the Marittima area measures about sq.m.

In addition Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. is the majority shareholder of two specialized companies: Venice Yacht Pier S.r.l. (V.Y.P.) founded to increase yachting in Venice Venice Yachts and Ship Assistance (V.Y.S.A.) dedicated to the promotion of services for the maxi-yachts market and VTP Events S.r.l. created with the purpose of organizing fairs and events. The growing needs of cruise traffic and Venice s appeal as a cultural and tourist attraction have given rise to the radical transformation of the Port area starting from 1997 as a result of the joint effort of Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. and the Venice Port Authority. Such transformation is exemplified by the renovation of ancient port buildings once dedicated to the commercial traffic, which have now become modern and multi-purpose facilities. Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. s port facilities cater the needs of any ships berthing in Venice. The Ferry Terminal 123 assists ferries for the Eastern Mediterranean area. The S. Basilio Terminal accommodates medium-size cruise ships, mega-yachts and high speed hydrofoils and catamarans. Cruise Terminals 103, 107/108, 117 and Terminal 1 Isonzo in the Marittima area are multi-purpose facilities which, additionally to their main purpose, are utilised for hosting meetings, conventions and fairs.

6 COMPANY STRUCTURE

7 INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CRUISE PORTS Since its foundation, Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. (VTP) has reached and continues to fully exceed the objectives for which it was created, handling an impressive 1,887,771 total passengers in 2009, which represents a % increase since The Company has also expanded its operations beyond the Venice area, now also operating the Ravenna Cruise Ship Terminal as technical partner. The complexity associated with the management of a Passenger Port with these numbers, in terms of ship traffic and passenger and operators handling, and with multiple operating sites has led the VTP to look into innovative solutions to improve how it manages passenger flows, to decrease the time ships must remain in the port, and to reduce energy consumption related to port operations. VTP Engineering was founded to meet this need and has developed into a division of VTP S.p.A., the result of a partnership with Abacoingegneria Treviso S.r.l., an engineering company highly respected in the area of industrial design, consulting for project management and technical engineering services. The objective of VTP Engineering is to design and implement innovative technological solutions and patents to apply to port-related areas.

11 The port of Venice: strategically located and linked All terminals are easily connected with the mainland. In fact the Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A is situated at the exit of the Ponte della Libertà (causeway connecting Venice to the mainland), allowing to reach the Passenger Port by car, taxi-cab, water taxi, public waterway or bus. In addition all terminals are only 3 minutes far from the historical city centre and St. Lucia Railway Station thanks to the People Mover, a land funicular connecting the Passenger Port to Piazzale Roma, the point in which land traffic enters the city. This monumental work that will completely change a side of the city and the town entrance, responding to local mobility and international visitor reception requirements, will be completed by the construction of a new multi-story car park along with shops and hotels located at the Marittima area. Furthermore, less than 13 kilometers from the Venezia Terminal Passeggeri, the Marco Polo Airport with its 200 daily flights completes the Port s claim to be one of the most easily accessible Cruise Terminals. Location of the passenger Terminals is strategic not only for the city, but as well for its easy access to all the attractions that surround Venice and the Veneto Region. Among the main cultural attractions within 60 miles from the Port of Venice, you will find Treviso, Padua, Verona and Garda Lake. The wineries of the Soave grape, the Euganean Hills, famous golf courses like the Asolo Golf Club or the Lido of Venice, the Dolomites and Cortina d Ampezzo are an hour and a half drive away. With over 100 specialized companies, including shipping agents, providing services for shipping lines and cruise companies that call in Venice you will find an agent that fits your needs. This competitive environment guarantees the highest level services at competitive rates.

30 crew services Seafarers are the hardworking men and women who work aboard cargo and cruise ships, playing a critical role in the growth of global commerce. 90% of global trade is transported by sea and seafarers are the human faces behind the food we eat, the oil we use in our cars and the cement in the sidewalks we tread. Seafarers work long hours, often under lonely, perilous conditions. Signing on for year-long contracts at sea in order to support loved ones at home, mariners must deal with isolation, stress, dangerous conditions and increasing incidents of piracy in certain parts of the world. We find most crew now come from countries where unemployment is very high and the jobs they find with cargo and cruise lines provide means to support their families and build futures for them. In addition to being so far from home, seafarers are nearly invisible to the societies they serve, for this reason Stella Maris Friends offers to them support at different levels. Stella Maris Friends Onlus takes care about seafarers in Venice port. SeafarerS welfare facilities Born in 2001 Stella Maris Friends Onlus provides help to seafarers inside Marittima Seamen s Club, also through a strong ship visiting activity in Marghera cargo port managed by the main branch in via Fratelli Bandiera 158/A (Marghera Venezia).

Boardings will be done through six loading bridges which are directly connected with the aircraft and equipped with automatic optical scanner systems; otherwise, they can be done through passenger shuttles. More than 6 millions Euros have been invested for providing the terminal with video-surveillance devices, access control systems, x-ray devices for the luggage control, x-ray systems for the control of hand luggage, metal detectors. The security system planning features a high degree of innovation.
