Around 2.3 million tonnes of cargo and some 900 vessels pass through Sousse each year, worked across roughly 1,200 metres of quay on Tunisia's central Sahel coast. The container terminal is sized for about 250,000 TEU and sits alongside dedicated bulk, general-cargo and RoRo areas. Inbound flows centre on timber, cotton, soybean oil, wood pulp and grain, while salt, olive oil, tyres, textiles and general cargo move outbound. Road and rail link the port directly to inland industrial zones and to the larger Tunisian gateways of Radès, Sfax and Bizerte. On-site pilotage, towage, bunkering, warehousing and customs clearance support routine import and export documentation. For high-volume container services, Radès near Tunis remains the heavier-traffic alternative, with Sousse concentrating regional Sahel traffic.
