The port's freight relevance rests on RoRo ferries across the Strait of Messina to Villa San Giovanni and Reggio Calabria, run by operators including Caronte & Tourist and state-linked Bluferries, carrying accompanied trucks between Sicily and mainland Italy. Cruise traffic is growing too, with about 780,000 cruise passengers recorded in 2024.
