Tripoli Port is situated in the capital city of Tripoli, along the Mediterranean coast. It is the largest port in Libya in terms of activity and vessel movement, featuring a well-developed terminal for passenger services. Covering a total area of 6,131,205 square meters, the port has been managed and serviced by the Libyan Ports Company since 1986, which oversees all commercial ports in Libya.

The port boasts 27 berths, including 18 for various types of goods, 5 for Ro-Ro vessels (berths 10-14), and 3 dedicated to services. Additionally, there is a special berth for a floating dock. The port has an annual capacity of 4.5 million tons per shift.

The first lighthouse at Tripoli Port was established in 1880. The previous lighthouse, built between 1924 and 1926, was destroyed during World War II in 1943.

The current lighthouse stands 116 feet above sea level and operates at night using a 220-volt electrical system. It is equipped with a 1,000-watt lamp, providing illumination up to 16 nautical miles. The lighthouse emits three orange light signals every ten seconds to assist vessels navigating at night. During the day, its black and white stripes help identify the location of Tripoli Port.
