Porto Marina Di Carrara, Commercial port and marina on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast, Italy.

Porto Marina Di Carrara is a port facility on the Tyrrhenian coast divided into two operational sections. One section handles commercial cargo and freight vessels, while the other provides mooring space for private yachts and leisure boats.

The port's direct ancestor was the harbour of the Roman city of Luni, founded in 177 BC. From the 2nd century BC, Apuane marble was shipped from Luni to Rome, carried by ox carts to the port and loaded onto specially built ships. After barbarian invasions and malaria, trade ceased. Marble exports resumed in the Renaissance from the beaches of Avenza, using the 'capra' or 'vetta' loading method until the late 19th century. In 1851 the industrialist Walton built the first marble loading pier on the coast; a second followed in 1871 and a third in 1880, all served by rail. The artificial harbour of Marina di Carrara was begun in 1922, completed around 1942, destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt; it opened with its present breakwaters in 1954.

The port maintains strong ties to the marble trade and serves as a working landscape where large stone blocks are continuously loaded and unloaded. Local fishing boats and pleasure vessels share the harbor with commercial operations, creating a mixed maritime community.

The port lies at Marina di Carrara, on the Ligurian Sea along the Riviera Apuana, about 300 km northwest of Rome. It handles natural stone, with granite imported from India, Brazil, southern Africa and northern Europe, and worked Carrara marble shipped to the United States, East Asia, the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. It has links with 85 ports in 48 countries.

The port's dockworkers are known as Buscaiol, a term derived from busca, the dialect word for the meagre pay they earned. Marble blocks once reached the quays along rails laid on the loading piers, carried by locomotives from the Apuane quarries.
