Port - logistic and shipping

The leading Italian port and the southern gateway of the Mediterranean along the North Sea – Rhine – Mediterranean European Corridor, connecting major industrial and consumer areas. It is seamlessly linked by rail and road to all key European destinations.

The port of Genoa is a versatile hub boasting a wide range of specialized terminals equipped to handle all key cargo sectors: containers, breakbulk, ro-ro, perishables, metals, timber, dry and liquid bulk, as well as passenger traffic (both cruise and ferry services). Supported by a cluster of dedicated companies, the port ensures a comprehensive range of complementary services, including shipbuilding, ship refitting, digitalization processes, and authorization management to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and the competitiveness of the port logistics system. Genova's maritime community is enriched by the presence of shipping agents, freight forwarders, brokers, and insurance companies, making it a vibrant and strategic hub.

A major €3 billion infrastructure investment plan is aimed at improving maritime, road, rail, and air accessibility, further strengthening Genova’s leadership in international trade. The plan also focuses on enhancing the sustainability of port activities, mitigating their impact on surrounding urban areas through green technologies and redevelopment projects that integrate the port with the city.
