About This Seaport
Around 14 to 16 million tonnes of bauxite leave Kamsar every year, making this port on Guinea's Atlantic coast one of the world's principal shipping points for the aluminium raw material. Operations are run by the Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG), whose terminal on the Rio Nuñez holds a stockyard of roughly 1.3 million tonnes and a stacker-reclaimer rated at about 4,500 tonnes per hour. Because the channel is limited to around 6.4 metres, large bulk carriers often load at reduced draft or are topped up offshore in deeper water. The hinterland link is a dedicated ore railway from the Sangarédi mines rather than a road or container corridor. Kamsar is not equipped for containers, breakbulk or conventional imports, which are handled at Conakry some 250 kilometres to the south-east. For shippers moving dry bulk in the aluminium supply chain it is a specialised but narrowly focused loading port.
