If you are looking for the best ports in Italy to import and export, you came to the right place. Since the old days, Italy has played a vital role in maritime commerce, a result of its culture, economy, developments and, of course, unique geography.
During the Renaissance and the Middle Age, the city states of Genoa, Venice, Pisa, and Amalfi gained control of trading routes at the Mediterranean Sea. Today Italy remains as a reference for shipping, importing and exporting, with high-capacity ports headed mainly by private companies, as EuroEnterprises.
Best ports in Italy to import and export big cargos:
Genoa Port – Genova
Once one of the four great maritime republics of Italy, Genoa has historically commanded great wealth and industry.
But while tourism is the city’s most important economic sector today, the port is Italy’s main cargo-handling point and one of the most important ports for container traffic in the region.
Its location on the Ligurian Sea in the Italian Riviera connects it to La Spezia port to the south and the port of Cannes in France to the west.

Savona Port – Savona
The development of the Port of Savona has been inextricably linked to the development of the city across 2,000 years of history.
Today the area dedicated to port operations covers almost 500,000 m2, with a depth of over 20 m.
At the end of the 1990s, the old docks adjacent to the city centre were redeveloped for tourism, cruise and pleasure sailing activities, while cargo handling operations (general cargo, ro-ro and bulk handling) were concentrated in the area of the port furthest from the city, where the natural deepwater can accommodate the ultra-large ships.
