About This Seaport
Once a container gateway, Catania has handed box traffic to nearby Augusta and now thrives on ferry, RoRo and conventional breakbulk trades on Sicily's east coast. Regular Ro-Ro and ferry services run to Salerno, Genoa and Livorno on the Italian mainland and to Valletta in Malta, with further links toward Spain and Greece. Across roughly 26 berths totalling some 4,200 m of quay, the port handles timber, paper, cereals, coal, iron products and fertilisers. Container handling moved entirely to Augusta during 2024, where the new terminal opened; Catania now turns over roughly 4 million tonnes, mostly across ferry and RoRo ramps. Customs clearance follows the EU framework through Italy's Agenzia delle Dogane. Eastern Sicily's hinterland is served by road via the A18/A19 motorways, with rail for selected flows. For pure container cargo, Augusta is the first choice; for transhipment, mainland Gioia Tauro, complemented by Palermo in the west of the island.
