Port of Barletta

Barletta is a commercial and fishing harbour whose freight activity is closely tied to the surrounding productive region. The port handles agricultural and industrial commodities, with bulk cargo forming an important part of its working profile.

Cargo categories reported by the port authority include cereals, solid chemicals, minerals, cement and lime, as well as liquid chemicals. These trades connect the waterfront with different local supply chains, from food-related businesses to construction and chemical processing. Their handling needs differ from those of a port centred on container traffic.

Two unequal protective moles frame the harbour between the Ponente and Levante waterfronts. Fishing activity shares this coastal setting with commercial shipping, while the port belongs to the wider Southern Adriatic Sea Port Authority system.
