Re:	PORT OF GENOVA

Dear NASA Member:

All of Northern Italy has experienced a severe winter snow storm which has subsequently shut down the Port of Genova from Thursday morning. The port will be reopened today at 12 noon, but is experiencing a backlog of trucking operations. Normal operating conditions should resume during the weekend.

Best regards,
