Abstract
The paper focuses firstly on the recent evolutions of global maritime traffic and its
repercussions on port functions. Subsequently, the main characteristics of modern port
functions are described, highlighting their peculiarities and evaluating their effects on
port facilities. Considering the analysis of seaport functions, this paper investigates on
the literature concerning ports classification with the aim of proposing a taxonomy of
their specialisation. The case study is the Italian peninsula, whose port specialisation
is analysed (during the period 2012-2022) and the resulting geography is outlined.
