Port Sudan Processes Over 26,000 TEUs and Receives 30 Ships in June

Port Sudan handled 15,593 containers,equivalent to 26,019 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs),during June 2026,according to the Sea Ports Corporation.

The state-owned operator said the Southern Port received 30 vessels last month,comprising 15 container ships and 15 non-container vessels. Imported cargo accounted for 8,157 containers (13,615 TEUs),representing 52.33% of total traffic,while exports,including loaded and empty containers,reached 7,436 containers (12,404 TEUs),or 47.67% of the total volume.

Officials said the performance reflects ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and sustain foreign trade amid Sudan’s continuing conflict. The port recently welcomed its first ultra-large container ships and resumed transhipment services on June 16,2026,after a prolonged suspension.

Despite the improvements,authorities noted that further expansion and deeper berths are needed,with the current 1,478-metre berth length and 1.48 million square metres of storage space remaining below international standards.
