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 260.000 sq. m. of which the Terminals occupy 47.267 sq. m. The maritime basin in the Marittima area measures about 123.700 sq.m. The Terminals are in a strategic position not only for the uniqueness of Venice, but also for the location context which allows an easy access to the city, and to all the attractions that surround Venice. The shareholders of Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. are the following: APV Investimenti S.p.A., Finpax S.r.l., SAVE S.p.A. (Venice Marco Polo Airport), Veneto Sviluppo S.p.A., and the Venice Chamber of Commerce. 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.
COMPANY STRUCTURE
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 166.62% increase since 1997. 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.

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.

FLY & CRUISE SERVICES FOR CHARTER FLIGHTS IN AND OUT OF VENICE Cruise passengers flying in and out of Venice on a charter flight can now arrive at the airport shortly before the departure for the flight home, allowing them to enjoy all Venice has to offer without having to worry about the hassle associated with the check-in and their luggage. The pre-check-in services jointly proposed by the Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. and the Venice Marco Polo Airport cater to the needs of passengers who have purchased cruise packages inclusive of charter flights to and from Venice. The transit of said passengers is simplified since they receive boarding cards for their return flights, upon the ship s docking in Venice. Their luggage is tagged at the Port and transported directly to the airport on sealed trucks. The Marco Polo Airport, despite the stricter security regulations, is able to propose this service thanks to the new technologies, in particular with the BHS system which allows for complete scanning and accountability of the luggage. The co-operation between the Port of Venice and the Airport creates an important synergy between the two Entities, with the goal of increased client satisfaction by offering higher quality services. The joint efforts of the Port of Venice and the Airport are based on the provision of superior efficiency and transparency standards designed to render the entire Veneto Region more attractive to the potential customer.

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).

venice marco polo airport SAVE S.p.A. has been managing the Venice Airport System, which includes the airport of Venice and Treviso, that has globally recorded 6,7 millions passengers in the 2009. With over 200 daily flights, the Venice Airport represents a crucial junction for international exchanges. The strength of the Airport is the airline traffic which represents 94% of the total. With a surface of around 60.000 square metres, the new passenger terminal has been designed for 6,5 million passengers. Five hundred kilometres of electric wires, data transmission and optical fibres make it one of the most technologically advanced air terminal of Italy: 60 check-in points, an advanced Baggage Handling System, extending itself for a total length of 3000 metres, will enable the luggage automatic handing-out through optical scanner systems. 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. Besides the different system control software with a surveillance function (fire-fighting, smoke control, intrusion control, gate control, etc.) a further global control system is scheduled. In order to ensure a pleasant stay in the terminal, retail areas covering a surface approximately of 5.000 square metres has been arranged in the departure hall: here one can find the most famous trademarks such as Bulgari, Ferragamo, Ermenegildo Zegna, Valentino, Burberry, Montblanc, Loro Piana, Brooks Brothers, Ferrari, La Perla, Bose, Belstaff and much more, and restoration areas such as Marco Polo Café, Culto Café, DeCanto Winery, Hub, La Bottega dei Sapori.
