The Port of Pemba is in the northern province of Mozambique bordering with Tanzania and lies on a peninsula in Pemba Bay. Pemba is a potential site for a deep-water port and will be key to meet the growing demand of logistical support vessels working on research and exploration projects of gas and oil in Rovuma basin and mining and agriculture projects in Cabo Delgado and Niassa provinces. Plans exist to improve and increase the number of berths and expand the area of storage and handling of containers.
CFM Norte manages the port.
