More than three million tonnes of cargo move across Trapani's quays each year, anchoring this multipurpose port (UN/LOCODE IT TPS) on the western tip of Sicily. Commercial traffic clusters at the Ronciglio quay, where roughly 12 metres of water admit larger general-cargo and roll-on/roll-off vessels, served by a cargo terminal of about 25,000 m² with two 100-ton mobile cranes and several reach-stackers. The dominant flows are breakbulk and bulk rather than deep-sea containers, with salt, wine, tinned tuna, edible oil and flour among the main exports. Liberty Lines and Grandi Navi Veloci run ferry and hydrofoil links to the Aegadian Islands and Pantelleria, alongside cruise calls and an active fishing fleet. Road haulage toward Palermo handles the hinterland, but there is no through rail container service. Shippers needing scheduled container slots generally route via Palermo or the eastern Sicilian terminals at Catania and Pozzallo.
