About This Seaport
Barges towed from anchorage to a small jetty are a defining sight at Moroni (KM YVA), the capital port on the west coast of Grande Comore. As the principal port of the Comoros, it handles most of the nation's cargo and passenger traffic, yet its jetty and pier take only small coasters. Larger vessels work cargo at anchor into small craft, supported by general-cargo berths, limited container handling and warehousing with roughly 500 TEU of storage. A shallow 5 m draught at the dock restricts direct berthing to ships under 70 m, while units up to 150 m hold at two mooring areas about 20 m deep and discharge by onboard crane onto barges. For deep-draught calls, Mutsamudu on Anjouan is the stronger Comoran option. Most imports reach Moroni as feeder cargo transhipped via Mombasa, Dar es Salaam or Port Louis.
