Marina di Carrara under the jurisdiction of the Port Authority of the Tyrrhenian Sea
Northern as the port would not have benefited

Orientale recalled that "until 2016 the port of Marina di
Carrara handled about 1.8 million tons of goods

of the unification into a single Port Authority - explained the body - the port
of Marina di Carrara was characterized by a
diversification of traffic, with the launch of new activities,
such as project cargo, linked above all to the handling of
special pieces of Baker Hughes by the F2i operator, the
ro-ro traffic with Sardinia by Grendi with units of
innovative loading, the consolidation of the MDC Terminal operator,
specialized in intra-Mediterranean traffic and the initiation of traffic
cruise ship that has reached up to 26,000 passengers/year,
allowing the commercial port to lay the foundations of its own
Raise. This scenario - underlined the Port Authority - has allowed the
port of Marina di Carrara to achieve excellent results,
reaching a record of 5.5 million tons of goods,
tripling (+200%) the figure for volumes handled before
