A multipurpose Mediterranean gateway designed to support your containerised, general, bulk, breakbulk and roll-on/roll-off cargo with growing capacity and stronger regional connectivity.
CONNECTING YOUR CARGO TO KEY REGIONAL MARKETS
Our position on Syria’s Mediterranean coast gives your business access to trade routes across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. By connecting Syria’s import and export flows to established maritime corridors, we help you reach markets across the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond.
MULTIPURPOSE CAPABILITIES
FLEXIBLE FACILITIES FOR DIVERSE CARGO

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF TARTUS PORT
STRONGER CAPACITY, SAFER OPERATIONS.
Our long-term modernisation programme is dredging access channels, basins and berths, upgrading quays, yards and warehouses, rehabilitating existing equipment and introducing specialised assets and digital systems.
Together, these investments open the port to a wider range of vessels and cargo, and they give it the productivity and operational control needed to handle them. The result is a port that works harder for your cargo at every stage, from arrival to onward movement.
