About Gioia Tauro
Gioia Tauro sits on the toe of Italy and is one of the Mediterranean's largest transshipment hubs, so most of what passes through changes vessel rather than entering Italy. Its hinterland is thin and inland connections are limited, which is why so little of the cargo stays. For Italian consignees the northern ports are almost always the better routing.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Gioia Tauro — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 10–15 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
