Harbours around the world

Some of the interesting harbours, I have visited, around the world.

Italy:

Gioia Tauro:

 

The seaport is the largest in Italy and the seventh largest container port in Europe, with a 2007 throughput of 3.7 million TEU's from more than 3,000 ships.

 

The seaport represents more than a third (2002) of the whole national traffic and is specialised in transhipment activities, taking the place of the Malta seaport as the node for overseas traffic from/to USA and from/to the Far East. The Medcenter Container Terminal (Medcenter, Contship) is the main operator working within the seaport of Gioia Tauro.

Gioia Tauro is a nice place. Great pizza, and a very relaxed attitude to everything.
