Port of Ancona

Ancona connects the central Adriatic coast with ports across the sea, combining ferry traffic with conventional cargo and container handling. Passenger services towards Greece and Croatia share the wider harbour with freight movements, making the waterfront both a departure point and a commercial gateway.

Breakwaters protect an extensively quayed harbour with separate areas for ferries, cargo vessels, fishing and shipbuilding. Ferries carry vehicles as well as travellers, while container and general cargo facilities serve goods moving through different supply chains.

The port sits close to the city, with road access linking its terminals to the regional hinterland. Its range of maritime activities supports hauliers, shipping services and passenger businesses, alongside the industrial work carried out around the harbour.
