POSTED ON BY AMIRA DAOUI
What Are The Largest Ports In Africa?
Africa has over ten ports that are responsible for the country imports and exports. The ports in African continent are not just of a touristic nature but also a field of serious business. And there is high competition between the different ports because they all want the title of the biggest port. With Africa being such an important continent, its ports tend to be significant points for transportation and connection with other countries. Importers and exporters need to be informed when it comes to the largest ports in Africa.
It is essential because if you want to trade on the African market, you need to know how to get products in and out the country. Plus, you need to make long-term business connections to lessen the obstacles related with the international trading system. And such connections are made also be getting familiar with the local ports. If you were wondering what the largest ports in Africa are, here’s everything you should know!
1. Durban, South Africa
When it comes to the busiest ports in Africa in 2017, Durban is one of them. Durban is one of the largest cargo port in Southern Africa with 59 berths without counting the maintenance ones. Besides its amazing functionalities, this port continues to expand and develop new areas. The reason for this expansion is the increased demand that Durban port has to face from year to year. This area is linked to important industrial areas which makes it perfect for exporters. This port has two major floating ducks, and one of them is controlled by the NPA (National Prosecuting Authority). The lifting capacity of this duck is 4500 tonnes while for the second one it reaches more than 8500 tonnes.
Durban is used by large ships that get to be 230,000 dwt (Deadweight tonnage), but the sizes vary every day. There are even larger ships that entered Durban port over its history. Over 800 ships use this port on a monthly basis, and this is not counting the uncommercial ones or the private ones. If you are an international trader, Durban port should be in your main focus. In some years, the tonnage handled by this port is over a quarter more than all the other ports combined. In the cargo side of the port are traded oil and petroleum imports and exports as well as other large quantities of goods.
2. Port of Richards Bay, South Africa
Port of Richards Bay is not only one of the largest ports in Africa but in the entire world. This port is the main coal export terminal internationally, and it is located fairly close to Durban, 160 km away. But Port of also has a history of over 40 years to be proud of. Initially, it was a village that got developed into an important industrial area. The port was a consequence of this development. Since the small fishing village became a growing industrial city, the port was enriched with a berth every year.
Until today, this port managed over 1.3 billion tonnes of coal and several other tonnes of different goods. Every year, in 80 tonnes get in and out the Port of which makes it an importer port for export-import business. Nowadays, technology allowed some modernizing procedures to develop the port’s berths and even add more. Port of has now a ship repairers department which makes it very useful and important. The perspective is to expand the port’s ability to manage up to 92 million tonnes. This project is being developed with a US investment of 140 million USD.
3. Kenya, Mombasa
Kenya is an important African country for of internal and international export-import business. And one of its important benefits is the Mombasa port. It is one of the largest ports in East Africa and even if it has its struggles, remains like that year after year. Mombasa is a common port for Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and also the Democratic Republic of Congo and tends to be a busy place. One of the challenges of this port is heavy traffic, and this is due to the port’s overall condition. Some investments are scheduled shortly to develop its capacity for the sake of the import-export business process.
This port imports along with exports significant amount of goods every year. There are also some local corruption issues on the Mombasa area which slows down the development process. Even so, the Mombasa port reaches a capacity of 22 million tonnes every year. It makes it one of the biggest ports in eastern Africa and a very important one as well.
The port has 21 berths as well as two bulk oil jetties and dry bulks. Mombasa is great for options such as cold storage or warehousing which is very handy for foreign traders. Around 72 percent of the transactions made in the Mombasa port is imported. And the most important country that deals with imports and export through Mombasa is Uganda. Even if the east African ports list goes on and on, this one is high in the top.
4. Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
Dar Es Salaam is a big port in Tanzania and a competitor for Mombasa port in Kenya. The competition between the two of them lasts for some years and almost became part of the African tradition. Dar Es Salaam has two ship-to-shore gantry cranes which are very efficient for large shipments. Each one of them can lift up to over 35 tonnes. Importers and exporters prefer this port due to its facilities and weight capacity. Dar Es Salaam is keeping up with Mombasa in many aspects, and it gets to be even better in others!
When it comes to import-export business regarding Tanzania, this port is a crucial factor for the international market. Since it is fairly busy but not as busy as others, it might even be a better alternative to import goods into Africa. The three water berths are set to a capacity of 200,000 TEUs yearly, but perspectives count on its development. The Tanzanian government wants not only to develop this port but also to build a new and improved one. It keeps a high competitive level between Tanzania and Kenya for the long run.
But this port is not ready to give up yet, so it remains a great trading factor on the international market. If you are just thinking to break into the African market, it might be tricky to choose between these two ports. But you can consult specialists to present you the details that make the difference between them and help you make the best choice. Geography plays an important role as well since you need to choose the port closer to your final destination!
5. Port of Beira, Mozambique

This port is an important trading point between Nigeria and its closest countries such as Benin, Niger, and Cameroon. And it is fairly busy since Nigeria is importing a lot of goods from these countries.
Since Nigeria has over 140 million citizens, it is the most developed market on the continent which asks for a developed port. The government also got involved to the development of this port because they saw the perspective that has for the local economy. And they were right!
Lagos has an important marine transport academy, and it is a source of numerous jobs for locals. Also, it is the main and largest seaport in West Africa responsible with a significant amount of exports.

And even if the level of exports is changing from year to year, Lagos remains one of the most important ports on the West African ports map.
9. Walvis Bay, Namibia

Dubbed Global Trade Centre, the 7.5-acre development comprises six imposing towers: a 47-level 3A Plus Office Tower, a 35-level hotel tower that will host the star-studded US chain JW Marriott hotel and four residential apartment towers of 24 to 28 levels.
The development, whose construction began in July 2015, also includes a 4-level boutique shopping mall on the western side of Chiromo Lane. The mall is connected to a 5-level podium on the side of the lane by a 2-level bridge.
The Avic Tower and Global Trade Centre development is set for completion in 2020.
Speaking during a media tour of the facility on Wednesday, Avic’s managing director Wang Long said the property will drive global capital and intelligence from Nairobi and East Africa into endless momentum for the development of itself as well as the region.
“GTC’s 184-m office tower, highest of its kind in entire East Africa, will bring the economic development of Kenya and the world into a brand new height and even higher standards.
“3A Plus is GTC Office Tower’s new definition of business operation for the world of Fortune Global 500 firms,” Mr Long said.

He added that the project had contributed more than Sh800 million in taxes to the government and generated about 2,000 jobs directly and indirectly.
