Managed by the Authority of the Southern Adriatic Sea, Bari is the principal multipurpose port of Italy's Puglia region and a long-standing European doorway to the Balkans. For forwarders its core strength is ferry and RoRo traffic, with services to Greece, Albania and Croatia carrying more than two million passengers a year alongside accompanied and unaccompanied trailers. The port also runs multipurpose terminals for containers, dry bulk and general cargo, though container throughput stays modest at a few tens of thousands of TEU – for intercontinental boxes, Taranto, Gioia Tauro or Naples are the more realistic gateways. Around 2.5 km of quays with depths to roughly 12.5 m handle mid-sized vessels, supported by refrigerated warehousing and container repair facilities. Inland, Bari connects through the Puglian motorway network and rail links toward the wider Italian south. The practical takeaway: route Adriatic ferry, RoRo, project and breakbulk cargo here, but plan deep-sea container moves via the larger southern Italian hubs.
