The Port of Latakia (Arabic: ميناء اللاذقية, French: Port de Lattaquié) is a seaport located on the Mediterranean sea in the city of Latakia. Established on 12 February 1950,[2] it has since served as Syria's main seaport.
Its imported cargo include clothing, construction materials, vehicles, furniture, minerals, tobacco, cotton, and food supplies such as lentils, onions, wheat, barley, dates, grains and figs, and in 2008 the port handled about 8 million tons of cargo.
The port is also a link in six organized cruises between Alexandria, İzmir and Beirut. In addition, there are irregular ferry services to Cyprus. In 2005, approximately 27,939 passengers used the port.[3]
