**UN/LOCODE:** GN CKY

Around 800 vessel calls, some 7 million tonnes of cargo and on the order of 80,000 TEU pass through Conakry each year, making it Guinea's principal commercial port. Its defining trade is bauxite: the wider Conakry area handles the bulk of Guinea's ore exports, which reached roughly 148 million tonnes in 2024 and surged in 2025, with about 100 million tonnes exported in the first half alone. The container terminal is run by Conakry Terminal (Bolloré group), while dedicated bauxite (CBK) and alumina/aluminium (Rusal Frigua) facilities complete the Atlantic-coast complex. Imports are dominated by consumer goods, rice, building materials and mining equipment. Inland connections rely on road and the mineral railways from the Boké and Kindia bauxite districts, with urban road congestion a known constraint. Container shippers facing tight schedules or large volumes often fall back on regional gateways such as Dakar and Abidjan.
