The port of Civitavecchia exemplifies one of the most significant situations in the Italian harbor panorama because of its ideal geographic position and its excellent marine weather conditions.
Nearness to Sardinia has made it the main national coastal shipping port, a natural bridge to the large Mediterranean islands, and an important tarminal for combined transport of goods.
Civitavecchia Port,

 Without two docks, measures: from bottom to middle of "antemurale" 520 m; and from Lazzaret to Fortress 430 m.

It has 20 docks, with lengths that vary from 80 m to 300 m, equipped to furnish water to ships.
