Port figures

The Ports of Genoa are Italy’s pre-eminent port range in terms of total traffic, product diversity and economic output, and play a pivotal role in the Med Sea, in a global shipping industry characterised by carrier upsizing and mega liner alliances.

The Ports of Genoa cater for all key commodity sectors: container, general cargo, ro/ro and bulk and rank as the leading Mediterranean gateway port for containers, project and heavy-lift cargo, and fruit.

Port terminals handled over 70 million tons of cargo and 4.3 million passengers, shipped by over 9,000 vessels.

Notwithstanding the slowdown registered by containerized trade, the Ports of Genoa in 2018 handled overall almost 2.7 million TEUs, firmly establishing the Western Ligurian Sea’s port range as the premier Italian and Mediterranean gateway serving the leading industrial and consumer centres of Northern Italy and Southern Europe.
