CAPE VERDE

Transport

Ports

Ports and harbors: Mindelo on São Vicente is the main port for cruise liners and the terminus for the ferry service to
Santo Antão.

 Praia on Santiago is a main hub for local ferry services to other islands. Palmeira on Sal supplies fuel for the main airport on the island, Amílcar Cabral International Airport, and is important for the hotel construction taking place on the island. 

Porto Novo on Santo Antão is the only source for imports and exports of produce from the island as well as passenger traffic since the closure of the airstrip at Ponta do Sol. 

There are smaller harbors, essentially single jetties at Tarrafal on São Nicolau, Sal Rei on Boa Vista, Vila do Maio (Porto Inglês) on Maio, São Filipe on Fogo and Furna on Brava. 

These act as terminals for the inter island ferry services which carry both freight and passengers. 

The pier at Santa Maria on Sal used by both fishing and dive boats has been rehabilitated.
