Port of Pescara

The port of Pescara is an Italian port on the Adriatic Sea at the mouth of the River Pescara in the city of Pescara. It is located at latitude 28.14 north and longitude 42 ° 14 ° 13 ', 78 East

The port of Pescara was conceived mainly as a staging area for use by numerous local fishing fleets, which had laid the foundations in the river in the second half of the 19th century. This project was created at the request of the navy to remedy the low water depths at the mouth of the river and the need to create an entry into deeper water and that was safer. Thus was born the port-channel, with two moles guardians 500 meters north-east, on stilts. Initially the port in Pescara was equipped for small and medium tonnage ships, in addition to providing support to the fishing activities that were already active in the central Adriatic. The port immediately showed signs of development beginning with the economic growth of the city.
