La Spezia (ITSPE)

The Port of La Spezia, a key maritime gateway on the Ligurian coast, is safeguarded by a central breakwater, providing access through eastern and western passages. The port primarily accommodates container and cruise vessels, making it a vital hub for both commercial and tourism activities. As of 2024, extensive expansion efforts are underway, notably the Terminal Del Golfo Extension Project and the new Cruise Terminal at Calata Paita, aimed at enhancing operational capacity and passenger experience. An LNG Terminal, managed by GNL Italia S.p.A., is located in the southwest corner of the harbour and underscores the port's role in energy logistics. Additionally, a naval base within the harbour highlights its strategic significance. Historically, the port handled coal until the closure of the La Spezia Power Station in 2021.

Summer.

La Spezia is situated on the NW shore of Rada di La Spezia in NW Italy.

Max Harbour: LOA 400m, beam 61.50m, draught 14.0m and 272,347DWT. Max Offshore: LOA 184.26m, BCM 90.0m, draught, 12.0m and 42,721DWT.

Approx 12,400,000t of cargo,1,100,000TEU, 2,000 vessels and 700,000 passengers handled annually.

Ships anchor in good holding ground within the harbour area of depths 6.0-12.0m. All vessels in the Rada Interna and Rada Esterna anchorages are required to maintain a continuous listening watch on VHF Ch 74. VHF channels 16 and 14 may also be used. Tankers of up to 10.5m draught can anchor 0.7nm x 290°, or 0.3nm x 325° from the NE end of the breakwater, mud, good holding ground. Tankers can also anchor 0.5nm SSE of the NE end of the breakwater. An area in which fishing is prohibited is situated S of this anchorage. Anchorage for vessels up to 10.0m draught is recommended 1nm SE of the SW end of the breakwater; deeper vessels should anchor 1nm E of Isola del Tino. There are fourteen numbered anchor berths in the Outer Roads in depths of 12.0-17.0m; the berths are allocated by the harbour master. Restrictions apply to some berths. ..... Anchor berth Remarks E1 Within pilotage area E2 - E3 Within pilotage area. Maximum LOA 130m. Maximum length of stay 48 hours with advance approval E4 Within pilotage area. Maximum LOA 130m. Maximum length of stay 48 hours with advance approval E5 - E6 - E7 - E8 - E9 Reserved for vessels carrying/which have carried dangerous liquid or gaseous bulk cargoes E10 - E11 - E12 - E13 - E14 - The following controlled anchor berths have been established in the inner roads of La Spezia. Ten numbered anchor berths in depths of 5.8-12.0m; the berths are allocated by the harbour master. Pilotage is compulsory for vessels instructed to anchor in the vicinity of submarine telephone cables serving mooring buoys in the central part of Rada de La Spezia. Vessels occupying these berths are also prohibited from swinging for compass deviation checks. Other restrictions apply to some berths.

Prohibited anchorage: Anchorage is prohibited in Rada di La Spezia and within 0.05nm of the shore or the pierheads between Molo Cantiere Ansaldo, 0.6nm NW of the NE end of the breakwater, and Molo dei Pagliari, 1nm further NNW. On account of submarine cables, anchorage is also prohibited on or near the line joining "B2" mooring buoy, 0.6nm N of the SW end of the breakwater, to "B3" mooring buoy, 0.65nm further NNW, and then ENE to Punta San Bartolomeo. Authorisation from the harbour master must be obtained prior to proceeding to the anchorages.

The port is approached from the SE through Golfo di La Spezia which lies between Isola del Tino (44°01.6'N., 009°51.0'E) and Capo Corvo (44°02.2'E., 009° 57.9'E). Vessels entering or leaving the port are to follow one of the recommended tracks. The detatched breakwater, Diga Foranea, is 0.8nm long and is located between Punta Santa Teresa and Punta Santa Maria, with an entrance at either end. It is worth noting that the surface of the aforementioned breakwater is occasionally awash along the central part. Passo di Levante is the NE'ly entrance to the port is 228m wide with depths of 11m. 1 Passo de Ponente is the SW'ly (main) entrance to the port and is 410m wide with depths of 13.9m. Darsena Duca degli Abruzzi is the entrance to the naval base and enclosed by three moles. The channel has depths of 11.2m and is indicated by lighted buoys.

Vessels should advise their ETA at the Pilot boarding position, on VHF Ch 14 as soon as possible, if entering the port or anchoring at a berth in the Rada Interna. Vessels are advised to contact the Pilot 1 hour in advance when leaving or shifting berth. Pilots board in the following positions: .....
