Trucks and trailers, not container stacks, define freight at Olbia, the principal port of north-east Sardinia's Costa Smeralda. Its Isola Bianca terminal offers around ten berths for ferries, cruise ships and accompanied or unaccompanied trailers, with Moby, Grimaldi Lines and Tirrenia sailing to Civitavecchia, Livorno and Genoa. Across the Sardinian port system of AdSP Mare di Sardegna, to which Olbia belongs, throughput reached roughly 43 million tonnes in 2025, up 3 percent; rolling cargo and containers alone exceeded 14.6 million tonnes, up 8 percent, while container traffic grew 34 percent. For forwarders the value at Olbia lies in RoRo links carrying road haulage to the Italian mainland, supplemented by domestic container services from Grendi and Grimaldi. The SS 131 road and the rail network connect Sassari and Cagliari to the interior, while the Cocciani area handles industrial traffic; Sardinia sits inside the EU customs territory, so mainland moves need no customs clearance, though specific VAT rules still apply. Deep-sea container shipments are better routed via Cagliari and its Porto Canale.
