The Port of Abidjan is the main port of the Ivory Coast (Cote d’Ivoire) and is connected to the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean by the Vridi Plage sandbar. The Port of Abidjan, which is a gateway to West Africa, serves transhipments to West and Central Africa over the Cote d’Ivoire’s modern rail and road systems. It exports cocoa, timber, coffee, pineapples, bananas and manganese. The Cote d’Ivoire is the third largest cocoa bean exporter in the world. It is also an important distribution point for imports to Africa.

The Port of Abidjan has thirty-four berths, including berths dedicated for timber, cereals, fruits, petroleum products and containers. The port provides weighbridge facilities (60 MT capacities). All trucks, tractors and trailers are weighed as they enter and leave the port.
