About La Spezia
La Spezia lies along the Ligurian coast from Genoa and is quoted more or less interchangeably with it, serving the same northern Italian catchment. It has a good rail share, with a substantial proportion of its containers moving inland by train rather than truck. For time-critical cargo into Lombardy it is worth pricing both alongside each other.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through La Spezia — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 8–12 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Italy lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
