About This Seaport
Roughly 6 metres of usable quay depth and a single berth of about 115 metres define the practical limits of Pemba, a deep natural harbour on Mozambique's north-eastern coast in Cabo Delgado province. While the bay itself is among the deepest in East Africa, cargo today centres on graphite exports from the regional mines and on project and supply consignments tied to the offshore gas developments in the Rovuma Basin. In 2024 the port was concessioned to Sociedade Pemba Bulk Terminal, signalling a shift toward energy and bulk logistics rather than container traffic. Scheduled container services and large-scale customs clearance are not established here; freight forwarders handling standardised boxes generally route via Nacala or Beira. Hinterland access is by road only, with no continuous rail link. For shippers, Pemba works best as a base for energy-related, bulk and heavy-lift movements rather than as a general-cargo gateway.
