Port of Bari, Mediterranean port in Bari, Italy

The Port of Bari (BRI) is a multipurpose port on the Adriatic in Apulia, divided into an older southern harbour and a newer northern area. The historic port has the Sant'Antonio and San Nicola piers, with fishing berths of 350 and 180 metres and depths of about 2.5 metres. The new port, open to the NNW, has five basins and depths of 3 to 12 metres, accommodating ships over 300 metres long.

The harbor traces its origins to Roman times when Bari was known as Barium and served as an important maritime point on the Adriatic. Over centuries after antiquity the port evolved and modernized with new infrastructure to meet changing needs.

Ferry lines run from Bari to Durrës, Kotor (Ragusa), Split, Igoumenitsa, Corfu, Patras and Kefalonia, which is why the port is traditionally called Europe's gateway to the Balkan Peninsula and the Middle East. Cruise ships of AIDA, Costa, MSC, Phoenix Reisen, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean call here, and the cruise terminal was built around the turn of the century.

The port is reached from Bari Centrale (Piazza Moro) by AMTAB circular bus line 50 to the Dogana gate and cruise terminal, or by car via the Bari Nord exit of the Bologna–Taranto motorway or exit 4 of the SS16 Adriatica. A free shuttle links the Marisabella inlet with the maritime station and cruise terminal. The harbour opens to the NNW and is exposed to tramontana and mistral winds.

The port is a core node of the EU's TEN-T Helsinki–La Valletta corridor, and an MSC container line links it to the Gioia Tauro hub. Ferries run to Durrës, Split, Rijeka, Igoumenitsa, Corfu, Patras and Kefalonia, while Ro-Ro services reach Venice, Trieste, Patras and Yalova. In 2018 it handled just over 1 million ferry passengers and about 573,000 cruise passengers.
