Telephone: +39 0831 527 633. In the event the vessel at Berth 18 has to leave the berth before the vessel moored at Berth 17, the port authority may authorise the clearance of the vessel at Berth 18, provided that the vessel at Berth 17, with pilot on board, has sufficient room to manoeuvre. For mooring at Berth 22 gas tankers over 5,000GT must require the assistance of one tug vessel.

Pilotage is compulsory for vessels over 500GT and is available throughout 24 hours (by day only for tankers and gas carriers over 3,000GT). Pilot boards in position 40°39.9'N., 018°01.1'E, approximately 1nm from port entrance. Three pilot vessels are provided by the port.

A chain of low islets Isole Pedagne Grandi (Le Pedagne) are located on a shoal bank at the E side of the port, N of Capo Bianco. A restricted area has been set up around the islets. Isola Pedagne Grande (40° 39.265'N., 18° 0.167'E) is the largest islet and located the furthest E, 0.26nm NNE of the cape and is connected to it by the breakwater. Isolotto Traversa (40° 39.460'N., 17° 59.442'E) is located the furthest W, 0.52nm NW of Capo Bianco and forms the S entrance point of the outer harbour. Standing 18m high on the aforementioned islet is Le Pedagne Light. Isola Sant Andrea (40° 39.621'N., 17° 58.151'E) an island located on a shoal bank at the NW side of the port. The island is situated 0.86nm W of Isolotto Traversa and 0.26nm E of the mainland coast. A breakwater and extends between the NW end of the island and the mainland. Located on the SE area of the island is a radio tower and can be used as a conspicuous landmark. Connected to Isola Sant Andrea from the S by a bridge is Forte a Mare, an island dominated by Castello Alfonsino di Brindisi. Forte a Mare Light, 28m high, is shown from Castello Alfonsino di Brindisi at the S end of the island. Diga di Punta Riso, a breakwater, extends 1.3 mile E from Punta Riso, the NE extremity of Isola Sant Andrea. It forms the N side of the outer harbour and can berth cruise vessels. A light with racon is shown from the head. A large and prominent tower known as Torre Penna, stands on the extremity of Capo Gallo, and is located 1.74nm NW of Punta Riso. The coast to the N of this cape is low, flat, and contains numerous towers and villages including Carovigno and Ostuni. A separate conspicuous monument to mariners is represented as a rudder and stands close W of Canale Pigonati. An aeronautical light is shown from a structure situated 0.43nm WNW from the aforementioned monument. Further conspicuous landmarks include Cathedral of the Visitation and Saint John Baptist, SW of Canale Pigonati and Swabian Castle of Brindisi, WSW of Canale Pigonati.

Berthing is not permitted during night time for certain vessels. Masthead Height: Due to close proximity of the airfield there are masthead height restrictions applying to vessels berthing in the following areas: 1. Costa Morena - Less than 45m. 2. Banchina di Riva - 40m. 3. Nuovo Sporgente di Costa Morena - 36m. Entry restricted area: All vessels, are prohibited from navigating within the coastal zone extending 6nm from the coast between Torre Guaceto and Torre San Gennaro (40°32.4'N 018°04.0'E). An area SE of the port has an air draught restriction of 30m due to the close proximity to the airfield. Aircraft may also moor along the shores of Porto Medio. In the event that flight operations are in place a green and white flag is flown from the signal station. Vessels must display movements while the aforementioned flag is displayed. Caution must be taken for mariners in and around the approach to the port as silting will occur within the port and depths may be less than those reported. A submarine pipeline extends SE from the oil berths to the SE shore of Porto Esterno. It has been reported that there are several unlit mooring buoys are located within the port and caution must be taken throughout the night. It is also known that the land in the vicinity of the port is low and difficult to identify and register. This can become extremely difficult during S'ly winds and when a haze is prevalent and as a result caution must be taken. Throughout the port the character of the bottom can determine the position of the vessel; weeds to the S, hard mud to the N and rock, sand, or gravel in between the two. Vessels over 500GT carrying goods or passengers are to avoid certain areas which have been established in the NW and the SE areas of the port. An un-exploded ordnance area lies on the N side near the head of Diga di Punta Riso. At Berths 15-19B the mooring of two vessels simultaneously must take place in favourable conditions. In the events of winds 28-33kts the assistance of at least 1 tug will be required. A pilot on duty may be authorised the moorings in the swath of a single Ro-Ro vessel. In strong winds 34-40kts mooring is not allowed.

Regulations concerning entry: Copies of full regulations should be obtained from the harbour authority. The following are some of the more important regulations: ..... Vessels carrying dangerous or polluting goods must report to the port captain, (harbour master) 36 hours in advance (48 hours in advance for vessels intending to load or unload), failing to do so vessels must contact the harbour master on VHF Ch 12 (0800-2000hrs) before anchoring in the anchorage area. Vessels must also make contact on leaving the area. After 2000hrs, vessels must contact harbour master's operations on Ch 16. Vessels entering Porto Medio, contrary to normal custom, have priority over vessels leaving, except that Italian naval vessels have precedence at all times. Vessels transiting Canale Pigonati, 1nm SW of Castello a Mare, must if possible, do so with engines stopped. Movements in the channel are regulated by the harbour master. Vessels leaving, whether civil or military, have priority. Non naval vessels must not approach military instillations without prior permission. Tugs compulsory for vessels carrying dangerous cargo, LOA greater than 100m, or LOA less than 100m and not equipped with a bow thruster. Vessels intending to transit Porto Medio to Porto Interno which have a masthead height of 30m or greater must contact Brindisi VTS on VHF Ch 10 prior to transit due to proximity to the airfield. All vessels, including those under sail, navigating in Porto Medio must remain within the sea area contained between the buoys extending from Canale Pigonati NNE along the NE shore, and the buoys moored off Costa Morena. Passage through and landing are prohibited in areas extending about 0.1nm SW of Pedagna Grande, 0.4nm ESE of Isolotto Traversa and 0.5nm W of Diga di Punta Riso Light. Stopping for anchoring is prohibited between the coast on the S side of the harbour and a line joining the following points: i. NE entrance point of Canale Pigonati, then ENE to; ii. Head of Diga di Costa Morena, then E to; iii. Head of Molo Montecatini Edison, then NE to Isolotto Traversa. It is worth noting that due to the fact that there is a naval base within the port, there are special regulations in effect in regards to the berthing and anchoring of vessels.

Quarantine should be requested 12 hours before arrival. Ship Sanitation Control Certificate or Ship Sanitation Control Exemption Certificates issued.
