Prince Albert officially inaugurated the Port of Cala del Forte in Ventimiglia alongside the Mayor of Ventimiglia, Gaetano Scullino, and in the presence of numerous officials, including Aleco Keusseoglou, President of the Société d'Exploitation des Ports de Monaco (SEPM), and Gian Battista Borea d'Olmo, CEO of the Port of Ventimiglia. This third port of the Principality will relieve congestion in the ports of Hercules and Fontvieille thanks to its 178 new berths.
While the Principality of Monaco had bought the port which was under construction and derelict in 2016, the work restarted in 2017 suffered unfortunate delays due to storm Alex, then the Covid-19 pandemic.
Just under 8 nautical miles from Monaco, Cala del Forte thus doubles the capacity of Monaco's ports for superyachts.
