ADRIATIC PORTS OF APULIA,
GATEWAY TO SOUTHERN EUROPE
The ports of Adriatic Apulia have always represented one of the Italian
bridgeheads towards the East thanks to the advantageous geographical position
as well as the ancient shipping traditions.
An economic and productive system has been developed all around the ports of
Bari, Brindisi, Manfredonia, Barletta and Monopoli whose gateway function has
been exalted over the last years allowing loading/unloading of both raw material
for industrial and manufacturing sector and finished products to be exported to
the rest of the world.
The ports of Bari and Brindisi are two of the main logistics nodes in Southern
Italy. Regular feeder ships connect the port of Bari to Gioia Tauro (Italy), Piraeus
(Greece) and Damietta/Port Said (Egypt) and consequently to intercontinental
maritime services offered by the major shipping companies (MSC, EVERGREEN
and Hapag-Lloyd).
