About This Seaport
Two working wharves – Sciangula and Todaro – anchor Porto Empedocle, a mixed bulk and general-cargo port on Sicily's southern coast near Agrigento. Its trade is varied: imports of cement, sand, steel pipes and wine, exports of mineral salt, cement and pet-coke, plus a dedicated berth for loading bulk salt and a breakwater quay where tankers discharge fuel oil for the local power station. Roll-on/roll-off and passenger ferries link the port to the Pelagic islands of Lampedusa and Linosa. Liner container traffic is essentially absent; boxes move via Palermo, Catania or nearby Pozzallo. Sicily's road network carries cargo inland across the Agrigento province. For forwarders, Empedocle is a bulk, project and ferry port rather than a container gateway.
