About Genoa
Genoa is Italy's largest port and the main gateway for the industrial northwest, sitting between the Ligurian Sea and the mountains that separate it from the Po valley. That geography constrains it: the port is hemmed in by the city and the hills, so congestion tends to surface as inland haulage delay rather than as a late vessel. Rail connections run north to Milan and Turin.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 8–12 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
