THE COMPANY
The Port of Genoa fills a strategic
geographical position in the
Mediterranean basin, representing a
natural
gateway of connection between Europe
and the rest of the world and an
essential crossroad for traffic.
Stazioni Marittime S.p.A. was born
in 1987 with the aim of dealing with
the planning, building and
management
of the passenger port of Genoa and
its traffic.
The area, received in concession
from the state through the Genoa
Port Authority, covers a surface
of 290,000
square metres and includes 13 berths
distributed on
Ponte Caracciolo,
Ponte
Assereto,
Ponte Colombo,
Ponte Andrea Doria and
Ponte dei Mille.
The berths, depending on their
technical features, may be used by
both ferries and cruise ships.
There are five
terminals dedicated to passenger
traffic, three of which (Calata
Chiappella,
Ponte Caracciolo,
Ponte
Colombo)
mainly equipped for
ferry traffic and two (Ponte
Andrea Doria and
Ponte dei Mille)
mainly destined to cruise ship
traffic.
For years Stazioni Marittime S.p.A.
has been carrying out ongoing
research into the most up-to-date
solutions for the creation of
functional and advanced
infrastructures, equipped with
services suitable for the
evolution of the market and tourist
demand. Thanks to their modern
design, high standard of quality and
their
versatility of use, all the
terminals managed by Stazioni
Marittime S.p.A., may be destined,
according to their
features and the operative needs,
both to cruise ships and to ferries.
From the early nineties to today,
with the contribution of the Genoa
Port Authority, Stazioni Marittime
S.p.A.
has made significant investments,
redesigning the profiles of the
quays and the internal road layout,
enlarging the embarkation areas,
equipping the passenger area with
modern and comfortable terminals,
computerising the check-in
procedures for embarkation on
ferries and coming into line with
the
new security regulations.
The passenger area is situated 500
metres from the Railway Station and
is connected directly to the
motorway, by which one can reach
Genoa International Airport, which
is just 5 km away.
The city centre is just a few
hundred metres away and can be
reached both on foot and by bus or
underground.
Today Genoa is an important reality
in the cruise market, home port for
holiday itineraries in the Middle
East,
North Africa, the Mediterranean, the
Atlantic, North Europe and the
Americas.
The strategic position of the Port
of Genoa encourages daily links by
ferry with Sardinia, Sicily,
Corsica,
North Africa and Spain.
