About This Seaport
Guinea-Bissau ranks among Africa's largest cashew exporters, and almost the entire crop ships out through Bissau, the river port on the Geba. Alongside sacks of raw cashew, the quays handle imports of rice, fuel, foodstuffs and machinery across berths for general cargo, containers and oil products. During the May-to-September export season congestion builds, and CMA CGM has at times served the port with its Bijagós shuttle using vessels of about 1,700 TEU on a fortnightly call. Draughts of roughly 7 to 8 metres, ongoing siltation, the absence of cold storage and dated handling gear cap vessel size and slow turnaround. Road links dominate the hinterland, supplemented by coastal and river traffic to the offshore Bijagós Islands. Shippers moving reefer or large container volumes routinely fall back on Dakar in Senegal. For anyone exporting Bissau-Guinean cashew, the port is best planned as a seasonal bottleneck with slots booked well ahead.
