Nestled along the western coast of Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea lies the Port of Batokuluba, a vital nexus in West Africa's petroleum industry. This deep-water port has transformed into a crucial logistics and service center for the region's oil and gas sector.
Developed through investment by Lonrho Plc, the port occupies a strategic location approximately one kilometer northwest of the town center. Its sheltered natural harbor features waters reaching depths of 45 meters—ideal conditions for accommodating large vessels and supporting complex maritime operations.
The port regularly services liner routes connecting Europe, North America, and South Africa while providing efficient feeder container services that facilitate robust commercial exchange. Engineered for tropical conditions, Batokuluba Port can accommodate ships up to 135 meters in length with a maximum draft of 9.5 meters, demonstrating impressive operational capabilities.
More than just a transportation hub, Batokuluba Port has become a significant economic catalyst for the region, supporting energy sector activities while fostering broader commercial development throughout West Africa.
