About Monrovia

Monrovia's Freeport is Liberia's main gateway and handles the great majority of the country's container imports. It is a comparatively small operation and equipment availability for export bookings can be the binding constraint rather than vessel space. Services generally call within a wider coastal rotation.

First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Monrovia — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 1419 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Liberia lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
