The total quantity of approaches and their cumulative length at the port of Pescara substantially exceed the average national quota. However, very damaging has become the draught on the internal part of the Port channel.
As of 2005 there has been a New External Commercial Port handling the traffic of RO/RO Pax ships and Catamarans during the summery period.
The urban area thus enjoys a good tourist receptivity conditioned also by a number of highway connections with Rome (E80 – A25 – A24) and Adriatic coast (A14). And finally Pescara boasts a historical trawler fleet and long harbour and tourism tradition.
