Port of Ancona

Passengers' service In the last twenty years passengers' traffic in the port of Ancona has risen very fast, beyond expectation. In 1995 over 700,000 passengers transited the port of Ancona. Traffic is heavier mainly in Summer and mostly between the countries of North-west Europe and the countries of the Adriatic Sea (in particular Greece, Croatia, Albania and Turkey). The recent operation of new very fast carriers has created a considerably addition flow of passenger traffic with cars and trucks. 4,500 million liras have recently been appropriated for the restructuring and the development of port facilities used for passengers' service.
