Container Shipping Services from the USA to The Gambia
The Gambia is a West African coastal market whose international container traffic is centered on Banjul. Shipment planning should consider the U.S. pickup point, container size, cargo type, carrier schedule, customs requirements and final delivery to Banjul, Kanifing, Serekunda, Brikama or another approved destination.
20ft Container
Useful for dense cargo, machinery, parts and smaller commercial shipments.
40ft & High Cube

Port of Banjul — The Gambia’s Main Container Gateway

After customs release, cargo may move inland by truck to the Greater Banjul Area and other destinations. Inland delivery is a separate logistics leg, not a separate seaport or container terminal.
