![]() Valuable exports lined up and ready to go at Queen Elizabeth II Quay |
Sierra Leone has the third largest natural harbour in the world where
shipping from all over the globe berth at Freetown's famous Queen
Elizabeth II Quay. Passenger, cargo and private craft
also utilize Government Wharf
nearer to central Freetown.
Recent important investment has seen the introduction of high tech cargo
scanning facilities operated by Intertek/
Port Maritime Security International (PMSI). This facility
is a clear indication of the Sierra Leone Government's commitment for
significant improvement, security and expansion of port facilities. Through
the services provided, Sierra Leone has not only addressed its international
obligations in keeping with future changes but also allows the country
to trade freely with the important US export market of minerals including
rutile and bauxite.
100% inspection of containers arriving and departing Freetown is today
the norm, placing Sierra Leone ahead of all other countries throughout
West Africa in security, so vastly improving the whole import/export experience
for commercial enterprises and shipping lines worldwide.
This whole innovation is by way of a unique cooperation between Intertek/PMSI,
the Sierra Leone Maritime Administration, Sierra Leone Ports Authority,
National Revenue Authority, Customs and Sierra Leone Government departments
responsible for national security.
