Salerno Maritime Terminal 

Architects : Zaha Hadid Architects | Location : Salerno, Italy | Area :4500 m2 | Year : 2016
Site Plan
Located on the public quay that extends into Salerno’s working harbor and
marina, the new maritime terminal continues the city’s relationship with the sea
and establishes new links; connecting Salerno’s rich maritime traditions with its
historic urban fabric and beyond to the hills that frame the city.
The maritime terminal is composed of 3 primary interlocking components :
• Administration offices
• The terminal for international ferries
• Cruise ships from around the world
The quayside gently rises as passengers approach the terminal from the city.
Indicating the gradually sloping path of ramps within the building which raise
passengers to the embarking level of large ships and ferries. 

The terminal’s interior arrangement orientates and leads passengers through a


sequence of interior spaces that flow into each other and are organized around
focal points such as the restaurant and the waiting lounge.

Local and regional ferry commuters move through the terminal quickly, arriving
on ground level and ascending via ramps to reach the upper and vessel entrance.

Passengers travelling on international ferries and cruise ships are guided


seamlessly through check-in, passport, security and customs controls to their ship.
