# Macau (MO MFM)

**UN/LOCODE:** MO MFM  
**Country:** Macau  
**Water Body:** South China Sea; North Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Medium  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Breakwater)  
**GPS:** 22.1833, 113.5667

Overshadowed by the deep-water giants of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Macau handles a modest 130,000–140,000 containers a year (around 132,750 TEU), split roughly 40 percent through the Ka-Ho terminal and 60 percent through the Inner Harbour. With a maximum draught of only about 5.5 metres and persistent silting, the port cannot take ocean-going box ships and works instead as a river-trade feeder linked to the Pearl River Delta majors. Alongside containers it operates terminals for cement, oil and general cargo serving the special administrative region's local supply. For forwarders, Macau is useful for connecting consignments by barge and coastal vessel to the regional hubs, not for direct deep-sea container calls. Anyone needing draught, sailing frequency or large TEU volumes routes via Hong Kong or Shenzhen (Shekou, Yantian).
