Some 500 metres of quay, 35 kilometres of private rail and 280,000 square metres of yards define the working port of Piombino, whose historic Portovecchio basin sits on the Tuscan coast between the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas. The facility, run by Piombino Logistics, mainly serves the adjacent steelworks now owned by JSW Steel Italy, handling ships of up to around 60,000 tonnes at a 12-metre draft. Inbound traffic is dominated by raw materials – iron ore, coking coal and scrap – while finished long products such as rails, wire rod and bars move out. Piombino is also a busy ferry port for Elba, Corsica and Sardinia, giving the harbour a dual industrial-and-passenger character. Containers are not handled here; boxed cargo for this part of Tuscany routes through Livorno, about 60 kilometres to the north. Solid bulk, project cargo and steel products are managed through dedicated terminals under standard EU customs rules.
