This publication is the result of a partnership between SRM and Assoporti. This six-monthly newsletter aims to offer an overview to the operators on the Mediterranean and on the meaning of the port dynamics developing in its wake. The report analyses the economy of the sea at the international and national level. The parameters selected are aimed at analysing year-on-year trends in maritime transport from the economic and infrastructural points of view. The indicators are grouped into four categories: 1) Italian port traffic: freight and passengers, 2) International Trade: Maritime import-export and SSS, 3) Indicators of Competitiveness, 4) Outlook on Major Canals and Port areas.
