Port of Ancona
The Port of Ancona is located in the middle of the Italian Adriatic coast. The port areas are 1.4 million sqm, 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.
Port of Falconara
The port of Falconara, with the API refinery, moves over 5 million tons of liquid bulks, mainly crude oil and refined petroleum products.
The port has three types of moorings: a wharf (1,385 meters long with 5 to 8 meters draughts); a marine platform (equipped also for loading and unloading of crude oil with high viscosity and for refined oils); a mooring platform (16 km from the coast, 30 meters draught).
