Port of Tripoli

Tripoli port (UN/LOCODE: LBKYE) serves as Lebanon's premier northern maritime gateway, strategically positioned at 34.4380941°N, 35.8308371°E in the eastern Mediterranean. As the nation's second-largest city, this vital hub facilitates extensive container traffic, bulk cargo operations, and passenger vessels while maintaining critical connections to regional markets via the Asia/Beirut timezone. The port's deep-water facilities accommodate Panamax vessels and modern roll-on/roll-off services, supporting Lebanon's import-export economy through transshipment activities. Historically significant since Ottoman times, Tripoli's maritime infrastructure combines contemporary logistics capabilities with strategic regional connectivity, serving as a key node in Eastern Mediterranean shipping networks and providing essential bunkering, shiprepair, and cargo-handling services for the Levantine coast.
