About Misrata
Misrata sits between Tripoli and Benghazi and has become the more commercially active of Libya's ports in recent years, with a free zone attached and a reputation for moving cargo more predictably than its neighbours. It serves the central coast and the interior. It is often the first port a carrier restores when it resumes Libyan calls.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 11–16 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
