In 2024, passenger traffic managed by Stations Marittime, the company that operates this type of traffic in the port of Genoa, decreased overall by -4.4% on the previous year having been 3.87 million people. In the cruise segment alone, the decline was more accentuated since a total of 1.53 million passengers (-9.8%), of which 600 thousand as home ports (-4.0%) and 931 thousand in transit (-13,2%). Stazioni Marittime specified that the traffic cruise industry has suffered the effects of the unavailability of a quay due to the work in progress for the construction of important improvements to the infrastructures that will lead to the enhancement of the spaces dedicated to cruise traffic with construction of a new 376-metre pier on the east side of Bridge of the Thousand. In 2024 the highest volume of traffic cruise ship was brought by MSC Cruises ships with over 1.16 million passengers (-14%) followed by the number of passengers by Costa Cruises ships with over 315 thousand passengers (+32%).

Last year there were 2.34 ferry passengers million (-0.5%) and the sector also recorded traffic of 1.91 million linear metres of rolling stock (-5.2%), 860 thousand cars (+0.2%) and 66 thousand motorcycles (+3.7%).
