The port of Sao Tome (Port Code:STTMS) is situated 220km off the African coast in the Gulf of Guinea. The major export is cocoa, with palm oil, coffee and copra also important. Approx 50 vessels visit the port annually. Vessels moor within and off the bay and work cargo via lighters. Vessels of moderate to deep draft should anchor, in an appropriate depth for their draft, on the alignment of the lighted range shown from Ponta Okedelrey.
Sao Tome is the main port, but it lacked a deep water harbor which would be necessary for oil tankers. Sao Tome and Principe said in October 2015 it had agreed to build a deep-sea port in partnership with China.
