Virtu Ferries has shaped Pozzallo since 1988, running fast catamarans across the Malta Channel from this port on Sicily's south-east tip. The harbour is primarily a RoRo and ferry gateway: the ships are fully ro-ro vessels carrying cars, campers and accompanied trucks of up to 19 metres and 45 tonnes alongside passengers. With Malta only about 50 nautical miles away, cargo loaded at Pozzallo in the morning reaches the island the same day, which suits time-critical Sicily-Malta consignments. The port also handles limited conventional cargo and supports a local fishing fleet. For mainstream container liner traffic in south-east Sicily, Catania and Augusta are the appropriate ports. Customs follows EU rules, and Malta traffic stays intra-Community.
