# Edinburgh Of The Seven Seas

**Country:** Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha  
**Water Body:** South Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** -37.0500, -12.3000

Ships anchor in the open roadstead off Tristan da Cunha and tranship people and supplies ashore by barge, raft or helicopter, because Calshot Harbour at Edinburgh of the Seven Seas takes only inshore craft. There is no commercial freight or container handling at this remote South Atlantic settlement. Supply runs come from Cape Town, with roughly ten return voyages a year carrying passengers, cargo and mail; Cape Town is therefore the nearest genuine port for Tristan-bound shipments. For forwarders, cargo relevance is very limited and confined to island resupply.
