MARINE TERMINAL

Coastal Storage

The port of Trieste, situated at the northernmost point of the Adriatic Sea, where the Mediterranean cuts most deeply into the European mainland, is the natural place for loading and unloading seagoing goods directed to or coming from the middle European countries. Alder has installed, at Trieste Harbor, a well-equipped storage terminal for methanol and other liquid chemicals.

 

Mainland access

An easy access road, which by-passes downtown Trieste, is available to standard or tank trucks. The nearest highway access is only 500 m far away from the Company main gate. ALDER’s has automatic loading bays for tank/normal trucks equipped with automatic weighing bridges.

 

 

Sea access
