About

The Port of Venice can rely on a strategic position at the top of the Adriatic Sea, at the intersection of two European transport corridors, the Mediterranean and the Baltic-Adriatic, and it serves as a terminal for the Motorways of the Sea of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Port of Venice covers a total area of over 2,045 hectares, which is equivalent to 5% of the entire city of Venice and 11% of the urbanized municipal territory.
Inside the port, there are over 30 kilometers of quays, with 163 berths organized through 27 terminals, including commercial, industrial, and passenger terminals.

The port consists of two main areas:

the Porto Marghera area, where logistics, commercial, and industrial activities take place;

the Venice area, primarily developed in the Marittima area and smaller berths, where passenger activities for cruise ships, hydrofoils, and yachts are carried out.
