The shipping platform

Location: The port of Pozzallo is situated approximately 0.5nm W of the town of Pozzallo. General overview: The dense shipping in the port has led to a radical renovation of the existing buildings and the consequent increase in the real capacity of the port. The current port can, in fact, host up to 150 fishing and recreational boats. The port facility is formed by an inner breakwater on the south-eastern side and a souther dock. The latter is over 600 metres long and can host ships with a draft of at least 9.5 metres. Services include a filling station, drinkable water and electricity supply, a crane, a travel lift, technical assistance, maintenance interventions and covered boat storage areas. The port's main imports are grain, granite blocks and wood. Cement is the main export. Traffic figures: Approx. 1,500,000 tons of cargo are handled annually. Load line zone: Summer. Max size: Max arrival draught 9.3m. This may be increased to 9.7m depending on sea/weather conditions and with harbour master's permission. No restriction on LOA.
