About This Seaport
Carrying the UN/LOCODE SL BTE, Bonthe is a small river port on the eastern shore of Sherbro Island, at the mouth of the Sherbro estuary. With a channel of only about 3.4 metres, it has limited relevance for international liner and container traffic and cannot handle larger ocean vessels or routine box operations. The region's mineral exports — chiefly rutile and bauxite from Bonthe District — are shipped not from the town but from the dedicated Nitti (Point Sam) terminal on the Sherbro River. For containers, customs clearance and overseas freight, Sierra Leone's gateway is the Queen Elizabeth II Quay at Freetown.
