Despite its UN/LOCODE and 'port' label, Houmt Souk on Djerba is essentially a fishing and ferry harbour rather than a freight terminal. Shallow approaches — an open roadstead with channel depths around 1.8 m — admit only small craft and effectively rule out container and conventional general-cargo traffic. Alongside its busy fish auctions, the port runs passenger ferries to the Tunisian mainland toward Gabès and Sfax, plus a marina for yachts and leisure boats. It is managed by Tunisia's Ministry of Transport. Forwarders with commercial sea freight should route via Sfax, Gabès or the oil port of Zarzis, with containers handled at Radès (Tunis).
