He emphasized that for many years the Port of Durr\u00ebs has handled heavy loads, while today it is no longer feasible for an industrial port to continue operating in the city center, due to environmental pollution concerns and limited space for expansion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"1217\">According to the minister, the Porto Romano project has been carefully designed by international experts and aims to meet the growing needs of the economy in the coming decades. He added that the new port will not only serve for cargo processing but will also function as a regional logistics hub, with warehouses and distribution facilities expected to host both domestic and foreign companies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1663\">\u201cFor decades, the Port of Durr\u00ebs has carried a heavy burden. There is no port today located in a city center that performs industrial functions, especially considering environmental policies and the need for expansion and development. The Port of Durr\u00ebs cannot expand. The Porto Romano project is well thought out, designed by international experts, and capable of meeting the significant economic demands of the coming decades,\u201d Karaka\u00e7i said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During Thursday\u2019s plenary session on April 16, Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Enea Karaka\u00e7i responded to an interpellation requested by Erald Kapri, an MP from the Mund\u00ebsia Party.
