Radès handled about 538,692 TEU in 2025, up 9 percent on the 491,973 TEU of 2024, and concentrates roughly 76 percent of Tunisia's container traffic and 79 percent of its containerised tonnage. Behind the UN/LOCODE TN TUN sit two facilities on the Tunis canal: the cruise and passenger terminal of La Goulette and the commercial port of Radès, the country's principal container and RoRo gateway. Boxes and rolling units move across two specialised terminals, alongside hydrocarbons, cereals and other liquid and dry bulk. The complex is run by the state authority OMMP (Office de la Marine Marchande et des Ports). Limited draft caps vessel size, so Tunisia-bound cargo is frequently transhipped via larger Mediterranean ports. Road and rail link the port to the Greater Tunis industrial and consumer market. For deep-draught or specialised cargo, Bizerte (bulk, oil) and Sfax are practical alternatives, with a planned deepwater port at Enfidha set to add capacity. Tunisia's total seaport throughput was about 27.75 million tonnes in 2024.
