About This Seaport
Set in one of the Indian Ocean's largest natural bays, Antsiranana in northern Madagascar combines a commercial harbour with a naval base and drydock. Annual throughput runs to roughly 187,000 tonnes of dry goods, about 134,000 tonnes of petroleum products, 94,000 tonnes of frozen tuna and only some 38,000 tonnes of containerised cargo. Berths are basic and lack shore cranes, so vessels must work with their own gear; calls of up to 229 metres in length and 8.8 metres draught have been recorded. Traffic is dominated by fishing vessels (around 30% of calls) and general-cargo ships (about 15%), while box volumes stay modest and the once-busy fishing sector has declined. Inland access relies on the RN 6 trunk road, with no rail connection. For substantial container flows, Toamasina, Madagascar's principal port, is the natural alternative, complemented by Mahajanga on the west coast.
