Reefs and heavy surf guard the approach to Mananjary, a tiny port on Madagascar's south-eastern coast where the Pangalanes Canal splits the town. Only about ten vessels call each year, and anchorage loading was suspended back in 2004 after the shifting dune gap made the passage to the roadstead unreliable. The surrounding district grows vanilla, pepper, coffee and rice, most of which now moves by coastal craft along the canal rather than over the open sea. Forwarders needing dependable export or container handling should rely on Toamasina.
