Grain, fertilisers and bulk chemicals define the trade of Manfredonia, a port on its namesake gulf north of Bari in Apulia. The site splits into the shallow Porto Vecchio, around 6 m draught and given over to fishing and small craft, and the Porto Industriale, which takes vessels up to roughly 300 m and 9.5 m draught. Imports cover grain, bulk chemicals, petroleum products and general goods, while exports include fertilisers, bauxite, vegetable oil, wine and general cargo. This makes Manfredonia a bulk and breakbulk port rather than a meaningful container gateway. With only about 100 calls a year, volumes stay modest, though the port serves tankers, general-cargo ships, bulk carriers and ferries. The regional programme "Manfredonia Rinasce" aims to revitalise the Porto Industriale; the port authority AdSPMAM is contributing approximately 5.2 million euros for 2026 seabed dredging and a further 1.5 million euros for fishing-harbour infrastructure. Hinterland links run by road toward Foggia and onto the Apulian rail network. For containers, Bari or the large multipurpose port of Taranto are the practical choices.
