IT BRI Port (Bari) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

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. The port authority is advancing expansion works at the San Cataldo quay, aimed at boosting capacity, with completion originally targeted for end of 2025. 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, with the port authority reporting a continued growth trend into 2026, but plan deep-sea container moves via the larger southern Italian hubs.
