The Port of Marina di Carrara has ancient origins dating back to the first century B.C. They used this stretch of coastline for the embarkation of white marble destined for Rome and other cities of the Empire. It has always been considered the world’s most important port of call for stone products: its location is strategic, serving the Northwest and Central Italian markets, in synergy with the port of La Spezia. It consists of a safe water basin: four docks equipped to handle all types of dry goods, including containers. All useful services for ships and goods are available in the port 24 hours a day, even exceptional transports find their optimal solution in the services of its port.
The port of Carrara is the world’s leading intermodal center for the import and export of natural stones such as granites, marbles, etc… The port is effectively connected to highways, rail networks and airports. This favorable geographical position makes the port of Marina di Carrara a port perfectly fitting in the T.E.N. (TRANS EUROPEAN NETWORK) and the natural outlet for many productions arriving from and directed to not only Italy but also Eastern and Central Europe. Currently, the port of Carrara is placed at the center of an articulated international transport network, connecting with more than 85 ports in 48 countries scattered across the different continents.
The port of Carrara is directly connected to the major highway tollgates of Carrara (2 km) and Massa (6 km). From here, within minutes, you can reach the connecting highways (A1, A21, A4, A22). In addition, the nearest airport is Pisa airport only 50 KM away.
Since the early 2000s, a special rail link has been built and put into operation that connects the port with the Massa station-industrial zone and from there with the entire national rail network.
