Port Overview
Maroantsetra is one of the most isolated places in Madagascar.
Unreachable by road, the area is very dependent on its port. Unlikely, there are no suitable facilities, and the two small ports are on a river channel and only accessible when the tide is high.
The two ports are called Ankiakabe and Anjahanambo.
The access of these ports depends on the tide level. The water draft is 1.5 meter only on low tide and until 3 meters on high tide.
At the high tide, the port of Anjahanambo allowed 40MT vessel maximum and 300MT maximum for Ankiakabe.
For the port of Anjahanambo, vessels whose tonnage exceeds 40MT can’t access the berth because of the mouth and must transship goods at the level of Nosy Mangabe Island (7km from coast of Maroantsetra)
The two ports are specialized on bulk and break-bulk handling and not are of course suitable for container handling.
All handling activities are done manually by day workers paid directly by vessels owner or the carrier.
The APMF plans to build a dock in andranonangozy (not started)

Port Performance
There are no facilities or equipment in the two ports; all activities are made by daily workers.
As the ports are the economic powerhouse of the area, they are most of the time crowded with loading/unloading activities every day.
Vessels carrying humanitarian freight may have priority for access to the berth, but it needs to be discussed beforehand with the local authorities (via the APMF)
