Port of Cape Town, Table Bay, the Fairest Cape, the Cape of Storms, the Cape of Good Hope, the Mother City. All these names provide an idea of what to expect. Cape Town competes with Alexandria for recognition as the most famous port in Africa and is certainly one of the most beautiful harbours in the world with a magnificent backdrop of Table Mountain framed by the mountainous Peninsular and the vast hinterland of Africa beyond the mountain.

The port is situated on one of the world’s busiest trade routes and will always retain strategic and economic importance for that reason alone.

Cape Town Container Terminal
Cape Town is also a busy container port, second in South Africa only to Durban in terms of ship numbers, and handles the largest amount of fresh fruit.
