Port facts
Contact and services
Strait of Messina traffic service
The Coast Guard says the Messina VTS centre was set up by ministerial decree on 2 October 2008. It gives information, traffic organisation and navigation assistance at all hours across the Strait. A traffic routing system from 2008 separates the flows between Messina and Villa San Giovanni. The document describes rules for tankers and for merchant ships over 15,000 gross tonnes. It does not state rules for yachts, so ask the Capitaneria di Porto before you transit.
Port quays
The port authority lists eight quays, from Vespri-Colapesce (about 450 m, 7 to 12 m deep) to Norimberga SW (about 165 m, 8 m deep). The list does not say which quays take yachts. Ask the Capitaneria di Porto before you plan a call.
