About This Seaport
Crude oil, refinery products and energy cargo define Baniyas, a specialised oil port on Syria's Mediterranean coast about 35 km north of Tartus. It serves the country's largest refinery, designed for roughly 130,000 barrels per day but lately running nearer 95,000 owing to ageing plant. After the fall of the Assad regime in late 2024 cut off Iranian oil supplies, the refinery briefly halted; since March 2025 tankers have returned, some carrying sanctioned Russian Arctic crude. Commercial container or reefer handling of any scale is not confirmed here. A major refinery modernisation is slated to begin in 2026, and Syria and Iraq are discussing reviving the Kirkuk–Baniyas pipeline. Hinterland links mainly supply the adjacent refinery and power station via the regional road network. For general merchandise and containers bound for Syria, Latakia—the country's largest commercial port—and Tartus are the relevant gateways, while Baniyas remains an energy-sector terminal.
