About Port-Gentil
Port-Gentil is the centre of Gabon's oil industry and its cargo reflects that: project equipment, drilling supplies and offshore support rather than general containers. The town has no road connection to the rest of the country, so everything arrives by sea or air, which makes the port unusually critical to its own hinterland. Container services are limited and often feedered.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Port-Gentil — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 19–25 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
