Sicily Terminal: (

Italy Terminal: (

I see there are several ferries between Italy and Sicily. I'm focusing on the railroad ferry.
This is the last train ferry in Europe. A crossing takes about an hour. [

(The train ferry between Hamburg and Copenhagen quit running Dec 2019 when the train was moved to a new, longer route that uses a
fixed crossing. A
tunnel is being built to restore the shorter route. [

Given the counterweight structure in the background of the screenshot, I believe it is docked where the ferry with the heleport is docked in this image of the Sicily terminal.

RFI via railtech
Railtech claims the crossing is just 30 minutes.
It is hybrid-powered and will have zero emissions in the port.
"The new ship is 147 metres long and 19 metres wide and has a maximum capacity of 27 rail wagons on 4 tracks. It can accommodate 700 people, including the crew. Iginia will join RFI’s fleet of ships between Messina and Villa San Giovanni, together with its sister ship Messina, Villa and Scilla, and the five ships of the Bluferries subsidiary." |
I just skimmed this video.
