Both the port and dry port are served by a rail link that can receive and ship goods by rail that, with its to the proximity of the Tyrrhenian ridge, is very competitive as well as environmentally sustainable. It is also connected with the Tyrrhenian multi-modal bracket and with the Cisa crossing, with two very close motorway exits: Carrara (1 km) and Massa (5 km).
