About This Seaport
Under a concession granted by the Liberian government in 2011, APM Terminals runs the multipurpose Freeport of Monrovia on the country's Atlantic coast. The terminal offers container capacity of around 200,000 TEU per year and handles more than 90 percent of Liberia's import cargo. Beyond boxes, it manages substantial general cargo — rice, wheat, cement, clinker, limestone and gypsum — together with project cargo and breakbulk, plus pilotage and towage. Mobile harbour cranes and recent dredging now allow gearless and larger vessels to be worked. Around-the-clock berthing has been introduced, eliminating vessel waiting time and trimming logistics costs. The operator reports activity up by roughly 40 percent on the back of renewed investment. Customs and import clearance run through this single national gateway, so most Liberian trade concentrates here. Despite its modest official harbour size, Monrovia is effectively the country's principal port. Shippers seeking alternatives in the region may consider Buchanan for ore exports or the larger Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire.
