- the Multedo entrance, for ships operating in the oil terminals and to the Fincantieri shipyards
- the Voltri entrance, at the western end of the port, for ships operating at the Voltri Terminal Europe

Famous quotes containing the word structural:
“The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
—J. David Bolter (b. 1951)
