Dzaoudzi Port (UN/LOCODE: YTDZA)

Dzaoudzi is a small maritime port serving Dzaoudzi, Mayotte, in the southwestern Indian Ocean. It functions primarily as an island and regional short-sea logistics gateway rather than a high-volume container hub. The supplied port record places it at 45.2571400°E, 12.7831450°S and identifies the port as a Mayotte subport. Recorded vessel limits are restrictive: maximum vessel length 50 m, maximum draught 2 m and maximum deadweight 250 t. Sailing vessels, cargo vessels and passenger vessels are all represented in the recorded call profile. Our service team therefore treats YTDZA as a port requiring vessel, cargo, draft and handling confirmation before any booking is accepted.

Port code	YTDZA
Port / city	Dzaoudzi, Mayotte
Coordinates	12.7831450°S, 45.2571400°E
Recorded vessel limits	Maximum length 50 m; maximum draught 2 m; maximum deadweight 250 t
Port profile	Small island maritime port with limited suitability for large-vessel and high-volume container operations

Key Highlights

Small-port operating profile: YTDZA should not be planned like a mainline container terminal; equipment, handling windows and cargo acceptance require confirmation.
Draft-sensitive routing: The supplied record states a maximum draught of 2 m, making vessel nomination and cargo stowage planning especially important.
Limited vessel scale: The recorded maximum vessel length is 50 m and maximum deadweight is 250 t; larger cargoes may require a regional hub or alternative port solution.
Island supply-chain exposure: Cargo normally depends on sea connections and onward island delivery, so weather, vessel availability and transshipment can affect the final schedule.
FCL/LCL caution: The supplied database records zero FCL and LCL service counts; our team confirms whether cargo will move as a dedicated shipment, consolidated cargo or breakbulk before quoting.

Facilities & Services

Marine access: The recorded vessel constraints indicate a shallow-draft, small-vessel operating environment. Vessel acceptance, under-keel clearance and tidal restrictions must be checked with the local port or appointed agent.
Cargo handling: Do not assume quay cranes, reach stackers, container plugs, heavy-lift gear or regular reefer services. Our team obtains confirmation of the actual handling method for each shipment.
Containerized cargo: Standard FCL or LCL service should be treated as subject to local acceptance and carrier confirmation. Where a container call is unavailable, regional transshipment or alternative port discharge may be required.
Breakbulk and general cargo: Small lots, palletized cargo and project pieces may be workable when dimensions, lifting points, packaging and shore equipment are approved in advance.
Storage and inspection: Warehouse, open-yard, customs inspection and temporary storage arrangements should be confirmed case by case rather than assumed from the port code.
Inland connection: Mayotte has no rail-based port evacuation option. Delivery planning therefore depends on local road access, vehicle size, delivery address and available island trucking capacity.

Routes & Transit Times

Typical routing logic: International cargo may need to move through a regional Indian Ocean or East African maritime hub before a smaller connecting vessel or approved local delivery arrangement reaches Mayotte. Direct service, carrier, transshipment point and sailing frequency must be confirmed for the shipment date.
Schedule reliability: The final transit time can be affected by feeder availability, transshipment connection, weather, port draft restrictions, cargo acceptance and local handling capacity.
Container planning: For FCL, our team verifies whether the nominated service can physically call YTDZA or whether the container must be discharged at another port and moved onward by a separate arrangement.
Transit-time quotation: We provide a shipment-specific estimate only after checking the origin, cargo type, equipment, sailing plan, transshipment exposure and final delivery point. Published carrier schedules are not treated as guaranteed delivery dates.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland: The port serves Dzaoudzi and nearby Mayotte island destinations through local road distribution. Final-mile planning is essential because the island market depends heavily on maritime replenishment.
Likely cargo pattern: Island supply chains commonly require consumer goods, food-related cargo, construction materials, general merchandise, spare parts and public or commercial supplies; the exact commodity mix must be confirmed from the shipper's booking instructions.
Project and oversized cargo: Steel, machinery, vehicles and other out-of-gauge cargo require advance checks on vessel limits, lifting arrangements, road geometry and delivery-site access.
Temperature-controlled goods: Reefer acceptance, electrical connection, monitoring and emergency power should be confirmed before dispatch. Perishable cargo should not be routed without an agreed contingency plan.
Hazardous cargo: Dangerous goods acceptance is shipment-specific and depends on the carrier, vessel, port handling capability, documentation and local regulatory approval.

Operations & Compliance

Booking and cut-off control: Small-port and feeder schedules can have earlier documentation, cargo-receiving or operational cut-offs than the mainline leg. Our team obtains the actual cut-off from the booking party and treats all times as subject to carrier confirmation.
Dangerous goods: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, flash point where applicable, package count and verified packing details before booking. No hazardous cargo should be delivered before written acceptance.
Customs documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, origin information and any required import authorization must be consistent in description, quantity, weight and value. Customs treatment and documentary requirements should be verified for the specific commodity.
Inspection and delivery: Allow schedule margin for customs inspection, port release, local trucking availability and delivery-site restrictions. Our service team checks whether the consignee can receive the cargo, arrange unloading and provide any required equipment.

Shipping Tips

Send the commercial invoice, packing list, cargo dimensions, gross weight, commodity description and HS code to our service team before rate confirmation, especially for machinery, vehicles, batteries or oversized pieces.
For container cargo, request confirmation of container acceptance, maximum permitted dimensions, empty-container availability, transshipment arrangements and the actual discharge point before stuffing.
Pack cargo for repeated handling and possible feeder or breakbulk transfer. Protect against humidity and salt exposure, mark lifting points clearly and keep package dimensions within the confirmed handling plan.
For time-sensitive cargo, compare direct small-vessel delivery with a regional hub plus onward transport. Our team can evaluate the alternative against draft restrictions, handling risk, customs steps and total landed cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a standard ocean container be booked directly to YTDZA?

It cannot be assumed. The supplied record shows a small port profile and zero recorded FCL/LCL service counts. Our team verifies the carrier's current acceptance, vessel suitability, equipment plan and whether discharge at an alternative regional port is required.

Is YTDZA suitable for a large project shipment?

Possibly only after a detailed feasibility review. The recorded maximum vessel length is 50 m, maximum draught is 2 m and maximum deadweight is 250 t. We check piece weight, dimensions, lifting method, vessel nomination and local road delivery before accepting the movement.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide origin, final destination, commodity, HS code, package count, dimensions, gross weight, cargo value, Incoterm, dangerous-goods status and requested delivery date. For containers, also provide equipment type and whether the cargo is FCL or consolidation.

Are customs inspection and local delivery included in the ocean freight?

Not automatically. Ocean freight, port handling, customs clearance, inspection, storage, local trucking and unloading are separate cost and responsibility items unless expressly included in our quotation.

How should urgent cargo be handled?

Contact our service team before cargo handover. We compare available sailing connections, transshipment exposure, local receiving capacity and an alternative port or transport plan instead of relying on an unverified transit promise.

Data Sources & Provenance

Primary port data	Supplied port master record for UN/LOCODE YTDZA, including port name, country, city, coordinates, vessel profile and recorded operational limits.
Numerical boundary	Maximum vessel length, maximum draught, maximum deadweight and vessel-type proportions are reproduced only from the supplied record; they should be revalidated with the appointed port or vessel agent before operational commitment.
Regulatory verification	For French customs and import-export compliance checks applicable to Mayotte, our team uses the official French Customs domain douane.gouv.fr. Commodity-specific requirements remain subject to the current customs decision and shipment documents.
Operational boundary	Carrier schedules, port acceptance, handling equipment, storage, inspection arrangements, cut-offs and local trucking availability are time-sensitive and must be confirmed for each shipment.

This port module distinguishes supplied hard data from operational guidance. Where a service, facility, route or transit time is not confirmed for the booking, our service team will obtain written confirmation before quotation or dispatch.
