Shipping to Italy

Trieste is the largest port in Italy in terms of gross tonnage, and it is at the top of our ranking. It’s off the coast of the mainland to the north. The port is divided into five areas: the Old, New, Timber, Mineral Oils, and Industrial zones. There are three business zones and two industrial zones.

The Mineral Oils Free Area and the Canale di Zaule Free Area, which encompass the timber and industrial regions, are the industrial zones. A multifunctional terminal (the Adria), container terminals, ro-ro, and ferry terminals are some of the various Free Port Zones.

Coal, steel, oil, chemicals, food, and general-purpose cargo are among the most common items handled via Genoa. The port has four inlets through which all traffic must pass.

The Multedo inlet is utilized by oil vessels and links to the Fincantieri Group’s shipyards. Finally, cargo boats use the Pra’ inlet.
