About Sierra Leone Ports and Congestion

Freetown Port is the main commercial gateway for Sierra Leone, handling container vessels, dry bulk cargo, and regional trade shipments. Its strategic position on the West African coast makes it an important stop for shipping lines. Vessel movement at the port can vary depending on cargo flow and berth availability. GoComet’s port congestion tracker gives users a live snapshot of traffic density, ship queues, and terminal occupancy. The tool enables shipping professionals to plan efficient port calls, monitor delays, and compare Freetown’s port conditions with other West African ports. With access to both real-time and historical insights, logistics teams can make proactive decisions to avoid bottlenecks and improve supply chain reliability.
