About This Seaport
On the north bank of the Taedong River, about 15 kilometres above its mouth, Nampo serves as Pyongyang's gateway to the Yellow Sea and is North Korea's largest and busiest port. It mainly handles dry bulk — coal, iron ore and grain — with only limited containerised traffic; a container terminal completed in 2005 exists, but boxes are typically stripped at the quay and their contents trucked inland while the empty units stay behind. An eight-kilometre sea wall with three lock chambers lets vessels up to 50,000 DWT enter, though regular facilities suit ships of around 20,000 tonnes, and the harbour freezes in winter. Nampo is also the main entry point for humanitarian aid shipments. Under comprehensive UN sanctions, the port is effectively unavailable for ordinary international commercial freight. Forwarders serving the wider region rely instead on Chinese ports such as Dalian.
