Description

The port of Livorno, represents one of the largest ports in Tuscany and at the same time, holds considerable historical and geographical importance in the Mediterranean peninsular landscape. This primacy, is due to both tourist passenger traffic and cargo traffic, which has been estimated at an average of almost 28 million tons per year.

Boasting centuries of history, the port of Livorno can still be considered to have been born in the version we know today, starting in the sixteenth century under the rule of Grand Duke Ferdinand I de’ Medici. Under the great family, the port underwent major renovations.

Urban planning, creation of the dock were some of the revolutions made in the port development of the facility. Thus it was that from a simple point of passage and stopover, the port also became a berthing point for cargo ships and even smaller vessels.

But the port, over the years has undergone multiple processing and renovations. In fact, there were already plans in the 1930s to expand the port with ship workshop facilities and compartments dedicated to maritime-oriented industrial design.

Obviously, considerable economic efforts were an obstacle for years, but thanks to incentives promoted by national law, the works came to life. It was not until the 1960s, however, that the port facility saw the completion of these works, as the bombings of World War II interrupted modernization for nearly fifteen years.

In the 1960s, then, the Livorno port of call was thus the protagonist of new revolutions, including the widening of the seabed, which only in two places barely reached 12 meters. Hence the creation of new docks, berths and the excavation of depths up to 15 meters.

In addition, a dry dock with a structure 350 meters long and 56 meters wide were created. Currently, the port of Livorno has the capacity to handle all kinds of goods. It governs under contract, thousands of containers coming from and going to all over the world.

At its facility, it provides berthing for gas carriers and double-hulled vessels in addition to cruise ships and titanic-sized vessels. The port’s traffic is estimated at nearly 510 cruise ship calls per year for more than 700,000 cruise passengers in transit. This, thanks precisely to its facilities that project the port among the most functional and important in the Mediterranean with 2 km docks and 400,000 square meters of yards.

The latter, the result of the 1995 renovation work. The port of Livorno thus remains, from its foundation that now dates back more than 500 years, to the present day, one of the most important ports facilities in the Mediterranean and the Italian badge of the shipping industry.

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.

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.
