This is a draft (I'll probably edit it in place) of what I'm working on to post to CFB before /u/hythloday1 puts up her long study. Please let me know if things don't make sense or I need to explain things in better ways.
Review and History. The Port of Minneapolis is the northernmost port on the Mississippi River System. Located near the convergence of the Mississippi and the Minnesota Rivers, the Port of Minneapolis is about 17 nautical miles upriver (20 kilometers or 12 miles northwest by air) of its sister city, St. Paul. Seat of Hennepin County, Minnesota, the Port of Minneapolis and St. Paul form the Twin Cities conurbation.
Livorno is a major commercial port where several cruise ships can dock at the same time. There is a cruise terminal in the port of Livorno, but you can dock anywhere in port. The docking for larger cruise ships is near Darsena Calafati and Darsena Petroli, right in the industrial port. Smaller vessels can dock at the cruise terminal at Porto Mercantile.
