About Cape Verde Islands Ports and Congestion
Cape Verde’s ports, including Porto Grande and Praia, have maintained operational stability despite occasional vessel clustering during cargo arrival peaks. Porto Grande handles the majority of imports and transshipment cargo, where congestion sometimes builds when larger vessels coincide with cruise traffic. Praia, serving more regional trade, manages mixed cargo with moderate yard space. Infrastructure investments, including improved berths and cargo tracking systems, have helped reduce port stays and prevent long delays. Tropical storms can briefly disrupt schedules, but recovery is generally swift due to efficient port response strategies. Port authorities focus on early coordination with liners and cargo handlers to smooth vessel queuing and gate activity.
