51The contribution starts from the analysis of the complex system of maritime
commercial transport in relation both to the geo-economic transformations connected
with the changes in the geography of the flows and the routes, and to the consequences
that derive in terms of ports at different scales. In this scenario the emergence of a new
global competition among ports is deepened, as a result of the strategies adopted by
large shipping companies, which seem to be increasingly influenced in the choice of
ports by logistical and organizational conditions of greater advantage rather than only
by the geographical location of the freight. In particular, a great interest is paid to
Mediterranean ports that, favoured by the enlargement of the Suez Canal and by
redevelopment operations started in order to gain attractiveness, have become the
object of speculative interest by global investors, such as China, interested in
consolidating their infrastructural and logistical bases in the Basin. China, in fact, has
started to invest heavily in its ports and maritime terminals allowed in the
Mediterranean, implementing the One Belt One Road. The project aimed at
strengthening the role of China on a global scale, favouring international investment
flows and commercial outlets for national productions, and it was based on the creation
of a global network of infrastructures, on land and sea, to ensure a complete crossing
from Asia to the Mediterranean
