About This Seaport
About 818,900 tonnes of cargo and some 90,000 passengers pass through Porto da Praia each year, making the Santiago Island port the main commercial gateway of Cape Verde and the supply point for the capital, Praia. Multipurpose wharves totalling roughly 865 metres of quay, with depths up to 14 metres, handle containers, RoRo across two ramps, breakbulk and dry bulk. Imports dominate the balance, since the archipelago brings in most of its consumer goods, building materials and food by sea. Hinterland reach is limited to Santiago's island road network — there is no rail. Customs and import processing are handled on site by Cape Verdean authorities. For international transhipment within the archipelago, Porto Grande at Mindelo (CV MIN) is the complementary deep-water hub.
