Link to transport networks
Thanks to its strategic geographical position, the Port of Ravenna is an Italian leader in commercial trade with the East Mediterranean and the Black Sea (approximately 30% of the national total excluding oil products), and it plays an important role in trade with the Middle and Far East.
Connected to the main transport networks, Ravenna is easily reached from the main Italian and European centres. The link to the motorway network ensures fast transfers to the Northern regions of Italy, the transalpine and the Central and Northern European countries. Ravenna is connected with Rome and the South using the E45 superhighway and the A14 motorway.
The Port's potential is strengthened thanks to its inclusion in the European Freeways Network and in the "Adriatic Corridor" project.
In fact, the road network overlaps the railway network to which the main terminals are linked by several tracks, which are being extended along the north bank of the Canal Harbour. In particular, the terminals handling containers and general cargo are real multimodal junctions.
The nearest airports are: in Forlì (30 km from the centre of Ravenna), in Rimini (60 km from the centre of Ravenna) e in Bologna (80 km from the centre of Ravenna).
