Port de Sète, Mediterranean commercial port in Sète, France.

The Port of Sète is a commercial facility along the Mediterranean coast that accommodates cargo ships, passenger ferries, and recreational vessels. The infrastructure spans multiple zones designed for different functions including cargo handling and passenger operations.

The port was established in 1666 when Louis XIV created it as a strategic link between the Mediterranean Sea and the Canal du Midi. This connection shaped the region's economic development for centuries.

Fishing here grew largely from Italian fishermen who settled from 1850, before which catches came mainly from the Étang de Thau; North African returnees arrived from the 1960s. Every two years the port hosts a maritime festival with many traditional boats taking part.

The commercial port lies south of the Peyrade canal, on the Mediterranean shore, with the Orsetti maritime station serving ferries to Tangier and Nador. A river-sea dike built in 2002 east of the port, south of Frontignan, shelters a closed 80-hectare water area for barges. The port is reached by road, rail and the Canal du Midi and Canal du Rhône à Sète.

The port's own SNSM lifeboat station operates the canot Amiral Leenhardt (SNS 003), which can put to sea in under 15 minutes. The port also holds the gare maritime Orsetti for ferries to Tangier and Nador, two regular lines.
