Ancona
The Port of Ancona is located in the middle of the Italian Adriatic coast. The port areas are 1.4 million m², articulated in passenger and ferry terminals, container and general cargo facilities. The port has a key function in the Adriatic-Ionian Macro-Region as terminal of the international ferry routes to Greece, Croatia and Albania.
In particular, the route Ancona-Igoumenitsa-Patras has become in the years the main route between Greece and Central Europe. Ancona is the first port for the RO/PAX traffic between Greece and Central and Western Europe. Relevant investments are ongoing to improve the container terminal by deepening the port basin to -14 meters and extending the existing 333 meters quay to 600 meters. It is managed by Autorita’ di Sistema Portuale del Mare Adriatico Centrale (Central Adriatic Sea Port Authority).
