# Mahdia (TN MAD)

**UN/LOCODE:** TN MAD  
**Country:** Tunisia  
**Water Body:** Mediterranean Sea; North Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Natural)

Mahdia is a working fishing port rather than a commercial cargo gateway: sardines and mackerel for the local canneries, plus the catch of the regional fleet, define daily activity on the Tunisian Mediterranean coast. Olive oil and area farm produce are traded too, but scheduled container or breakbulk liner cargo is essentially absent. Quays and shallow draft suit trawlers, small craft and leisure boats, with only basic handling gear. International customs clearance for boxed freight is not a standard service here. Shippers needing commercial sea freight turn to Sousse or, above all, the trade and oil port of Sfax.
