# Marina Di Carrara (IT MDC)

**UN/LOCODE:** IT MDC  
**Country:** Italy  
**Water Body:** Ligurian Sea; Mediterranean Sea; North Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Medium  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Breakwater)  
**GPS:** 44.0270, 10.0470

Marina di Carrara (IT MDC) handled 2.53 million tonnes in the first half of 2026 — up 16.5% year on year — with containers rising 25.3%, RoRo 20.1% and general cargo 20.5%. Carrara marble, the port's signature export, accounts for roughly 78% of throughput and arrives at the quay by direct rail from the nearby quarries. A new railway bridge — with the revised track layout completed by early September 2026 — boosts rail capacity and frees space for a new port access road. The project-cargo profile has gained a major anchor: Baker Hughes assembles large industrial power-generation modules at nearby Avenza di Carrara and ships them through the port. Jointly managed with La Spezia under the AdSP Mar Ligure Orientale, the two ports handled around 8.7 million tonnes combined in H1 2026. For scheduled container liner services, La Spezia or Livorno are the stronger choice; Carrara's strength lies in stone, heavy-lift and project cargo.
