Lampedusa (ITLMP)

The Port of Lampedusa serves as a vital connection between Europe and North Africa. While it is a small harbour, the port handles a range of cargo, including passenger ferries linking the island to Sicily and Tunisia, fishing products (mainly tuna) and essential supply cargo like construction materials, fuel and consumer goods for the local population. Additionally, the port plays a role in migration-related activities, occasionally facilitating the arrival of boats from North Africa. Despite its size, the Port of Lampedusa is crucial to the island's economy, supporting tourism, fishing and logistics.

Summer.

Situated 1.5nm W of Punta Scttile and 4.5nm ESE of Capo Ponente.

LOA 127.64m, beam 23.8m, draught 5m, 2,706DWT.

Anchorage can be obtained off the entrance of the harbour in a depth of approx 15m, good holding ground of sand and weed. Anchorage within the harbour is unsatisfactory as, although the holding ground consists of weed, the low lying surrounding land, in places, affords little protection from any wind.

It is entered between Punta Maccaferri (35°30'N 012°36'E), the W extremity of a headland named Cavallo Bianco, and Punta Guitga, 0.2nm W.

BA193, 2124. Admiralty Pilot NP45, NP286(3).
