TN LGN marks La Goulette, the maritime doorstep of Tunis and Tunisia's busiest passenger and cruise port rather than a container gateway. Three berths along roughly 657 m of quay, with drafts of about 5 to 10 m, handle mainly RoRo vehicle traffic and ferry services to Genoa, Civitavecchia, Palermo and Marseille. Containerised and general cargo volumes are modest here; the boxed line traffic for greater Tunis runs through neighbouring Radès, which accounts for around 79% of Tunisia's container tonnage. Forwarders should therefore route cars, trailers and ferry freight via La Goulette, but send full-container and project shipments through Radès or Sfax. Hinterland access is road-based into the Tunis conurbation, and customs clearance falls under the Tunisian ports authority OMMP.
