# 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 4.83 million tonnes over the full year 2025 and 2.53 million tonnes in H1 2026 alone — up 16.5% year on year — driven by containers (+25.3%), RoRo (+20.1%) and general cargo (+20.5%). Carrara marble, the port's signature export, accounts for roughly 78% of throughput; it arrives at the quay by direct rail and road from the nearby quarries. The port also imports granite from Scandinavia, South Africa, Brazil and India. 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. Project cargo has a growing 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, both 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 excels at stone, heavy-lift and project cargo.
