About This Seaport
Just 4,500 TEU a year pass through Boma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo's second-largest seaport, set on the right bank of the Congo River about 100 km from the Atlantic. Operated by the state authority SCTP, the multipurpose quays — roughly 685 m across four berths — handle containers, vehicles (RoRo), dry bulk and break-bulk. Container volumes have thinned further after lines such as CMA CGM ended their calls, so most boxes now move via Matadi upstream and its Matadi Gateway Terminal (MGT). River conditions limit depth (channel around 7.9 m) and vessel size. Onward distribution runs by road and rail toward Kinshasa, complemented by river transport into the interior. For shippers in western DRC, Boma remains a workable secondary port alongside Matadi, while Pointe-Noire in the Republic of the Congo offers a regional alternative. Customs clearance is handled by the Congolese authority DGDA.
