Once a busy colonial trading port, Donggala on the west shore of Palu Bay lost its role once its approach silted up. With a quay depth of only about 1.8 m, it now suits little more than shallow-draught coastal and fishing craft, lacking facilities for containers, international cargo or customs clearance of larger consignments. Central Sulawesi's commercial and container traffic moves through Pantoloan on the bay's east shore, one of the island's international ports, while Makassar handles larger volumes further south. Forwarders serving the region should route shipments via Pantoloan rather than Donggala.
