    About Reunion Ports and Congestion

    Réunion's main commercial gateway, Le Port, handles nearly all of the island’s maritime trade. Despite its limited scale, the port operates efficiently thanks to regular shipping routes and container scheduling via CMA CGM and regional lines. Peak congestion periods are linked to seasonal imports and disruptions in feeder vessel schedules from mainland France or nearby Indian Ocean islands. The port has undergone equipment upgrades and digital tracking enhancements to minimize cargo dwell time and optimize yard space. Port authorities also coordinate closely with customs to reduce clearance delays. Ferry and cruise activity, while lower priority, is managed using separate berthing channels to prevent overlap.
