At the southern tip of Italy's maritime territory, closer to Tunisia than to Sicily, Lampedusa handles cargo that is overwhelmingly about keeping the island supplied. Goods arrive almost entirely by roll-on/roll-off ferry, with Siremar running the year-round link from Porto Empedocle on the Sicilian coast and Liberty Lines adding seasonal hydrofoil sailings. Vessels berth in the newer Cavallo Bianco basin, while the Cala Pisana quay serves as a windward alternative for larger ferries. There is no container or general-cargo terminal for international liner trade, so commercial freight relevance is limited to island provisioning, occasional project cargo for construction, and the resident fishing fleet. Forwarders moving containers, reefer or groupage consignments should route via Porto Empedocle as the ferry base, or via the Sicilian ports of Palermo and Catania. Customs clearance follows standard EU single-market procedures handled on the mainland.
