The Port of Livorno

The Port of LIVORNO

The Port of Livorno looks out onto the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the west coast of Italy. Located at 43°33’ North latitude and 10°18’ East longitude, it has a strategic position in the center of the Mediterranean and is the main gateway to Tuscany by sea (90 km/70 minutes from Florence and 20 km/25 minutes from Pisa by car/bus/train). The port covers an area of over 2.5 million square meters, with about 90 berths, 21 km of docks, a depth of
up to -13 m and boasting high-tech facilities and vehicles. The maximum high tide is 0.46 m and the minimum is -0.34m. As part of the Core Network of the TEN-T European infrastructure network (Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor), Livorno is among the top national ports in terms of the quantity of goods handled (every year over 35 million tonnes of goods and over 3.5 million passengers, including over 800,000 cruise passengers) and is renowned worldwide as a multipurpose port.

THE PORTS LOOK TO THE FUTURE

4 km of new quays, 2 million square metres of yards, with depths of up to -20 m and a new harbour entrance which can rise to the challenge posed by mega-ships. We are referring to the Darsena Europa, an expansion and redevelopment project envisaged by the new Port Masterplan adopted in March 2015, which will allow Livorno to compete with ports at international level.
The work envisaged in the new Port Masterplan is designed to be implemented over time in various macro-phases until the project is completed. The timeframe was redefined in 2017 and updated in 2020.
The project will see investment of about 1billion Euros and the construction of two large new terminals. There will be large yards and quays for container traffic (first phase: A), which also involves the construction of breakwaters), while the second part of the infrastructure will be built in the second phase (phase: B) will be allocated to Motorways of the Sea traffic, an important segment, in terms of performance, for the port of Livorno.

The Piattaforma Europa, which will be built entirely at sea thanks to the consolidation of the two (dredged material) containment basins and the construction of new embankments, will enhance the current operational areas and will offer deep draughts and road and rail connections for direct links to the major national and European road networks. Once the work is completed, Livorno will be able to offer extensive areas and state-of-the-art facilities, both for new traffic and for consolidating current traffic.
The project will also involve the relocation of high-impact activities currently in the historic port. This will be very beneficial both in environmental terms and due to the fact that areas will be newly available for developing traffic.
