About This Seaport
Iron ore is the single commodity that defines Pepel, an Atlantic export terminal on an island near the mouth of the Sierra Leone River. Ore arrives by rail from the Marampa mining district roughly 66 km inland and is loaded onto bulk carriers; the pier's depth of about 11 metres suits large dry-bulk tonnage. The terminal handles no containers and offers no general-cargo or customs clearance role — it is purpose-built for ore shipment. Throughput has been intermittent, tracking world iron-ore prices and the operating status of the Marampa concession, most recently held by Gerald Group. The rail line dates back to 1933 and has been rehabilitated and extended more than once over the decades. Shippers needing container services, breakbulk or import clearance use Freetown's Queen Elizabeth II Quay instead.
