# Marsa Sabratah

**Water Body:** Mediterranean Sea; North Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** 32.8167, 12.5000

For freight purposes, Marsa Sabratah barely registers: it is an open roadstead on Libya's Mediterranean coast, about 70 km west of Tripoli and best known for the adjacent Roman ruins of Sabratha. Water depths are very shallow (pier roughly 1.8 m), and there is no confirmed container, general-cargo or customs handling. Shippers serving the Sabratha area route ocean and customs cargo through the Port of Tripoli, while crude moves via the Zawia oil terminal. Treat Marsa Sabratah as a local anchorage rather than a commercial call, and budget road haulage from Tripoli.
