A max speed limit of 3kts is in force within the harbour. Fishing is prohibited within approx 2nm of the coast in the vicinity of the port. All vessels on passage to and from Manfredonia must navigate more than 300m from the green light of the Industrial Port, without impeding the manoeuvres of vessels approaching or leaving their berths.

The mean spring tidal is 0.4m. In Jan and Feb the water level falls by a max of 0.6m.

One tug of 1,800hp is available.

Prevailing winds: NW'ly. Winds from S or SW render entry to Port Vecchio dangerous. Seas from the NE and E can render berthing at the Industrial Port difficult. Winds: The predominant winds are from the E semi-circle. The harbours and roadstead are exposed to winds from between NE and SSE but however violent offshore the wind seldom blows hard near the land and the sea is never very heavy in the roadstead. A SW wind sometimes blows in heavy squalls but not for any length of time; it blows lightly almost every night, veers W at daybreak and remains in that quarter during the greater part of the forenoon. Winds from the S semi-circle cause a swell within the harbours.
