Mining defines the cargo side of Milos: this Cycladic island is the European Union's largest producer of bentonite and perlite. The minerals are not shipped from the main town of Adamas but from the loading plants at Voudia and Kanava, where Imerys (formerly S&B) loads bulk carriers directly — roughly 500,000 tonnes of perlite a year. Adamas itself works mainly as a ferry and passenger port linking Piraeus and other Aegean islands, with only shallow quay depths. The island offers no container line calls or significant general-cargo handling. Distribution inland depends entirely on the local road network. For containerised import and export traffic, the port of Piraeus is the relevant alternative.
