Description

The Port of Pozzallo

The Port of Pozzallo is a port facility that is recognized as one of the most important in the province of Ragusa and in the whole of Sicily. It is a primarily commercial port since its inception was designed in order to accommodate the trade of more than five hundred thousand tons of goods per year.

Soon, these numbers were exceeded, with the volume tripling to date, partly due to exponential growth in trade. The latter, also due to the presence, nearby, of Malta and the strategic location with respect to North Africa and its possible connections.

In addition, and as a result of this ever-increasing reputation, the port has become home to the Port Authority. The traffic of passenger and merchant ships that the port sees, has seen the need to undertake some restructuring works to better accommodate the multiplicity of ‘vessels. In fact, the space is also used by fishing boats, pleasure boats and service craft, for a combined total of about 150.

The port structure consists of a breakwater to the southeast, and a pier to the south. The pier, boasts a length of at least 600 meters that manages to provide berthing for ships of at least 9.5 draft. Services offered are fuel supply, drinking water and electricity. In addition, there is a self-propelled crane and travel lift service.

Thanks to its commercial profile that sees theanchoring of continuous passing ships, the port provides service, maintenance and repair as well as indoor storage.

Despite its commercial identity, the port has, as described, dedicated spaces for recreational boats as well. In order to better accommodate these different types, access to the port has been differentiated. Access to the commercial docks is prohibited to recreational boats, except with permission from theMaritime Authority.

In fact, a floating dock , at the of the underwater pier, has been dedicated for boats that are not commercial.

With a sandy and muddy bottom, the area available to the entire facility also saw the emergence of an anchorage adjacent to the ports themselves in order to ensure safe mooring for passing boats, including small ones.

The port of Pozzallo is a qualified landmark of Ragusa and Sicilian ports facilities, and is renowned for its weight in the country’s mercantile activities. Due to its commercial activities and also its maritime aptitudes for pleasure boats, it is highly exploited by the maritime population of the area, which recognizes its reputation.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
