## Description

Kalemie owes its logistics role to a rare junction of modes: a port on Lake Tanganyika and the railhead of a branch line that joins the Lubumbashi–Ilebo corridor via Kamina. The airport adds a fast link for passengers and urgent goods into this remote corner of south-eastern DR Congo. There is no dedicated freight terminal — air cargo moves as belly load, while bulk traffic favours the lake and rail or is consolidated at Lubumbashi (FBM). For forwarders, the port-and-rail combination is Kalemie's real cargo asset, with the airfield as a complementary feeder.
