Tunisie Telegraph: Ports boost maritime tourism
The Tunisian commercial ports sector regained momentum in 2025, with cargo traffic increasing from approximately 22.9 million tons in 2024 to around 23 million tons in 2025, excluding the port of Sfax from the improvement. The tourist maritime transport also saw a growth of 22%, with around 272,000 cruise ship passengers welcomed compared to 223,000 in 2024, marking a gradual return of large cruise ships to Tunisia after a decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These indicators underscore the importance of ports in supporting trade exchange and the national economy. However, the challenge remains in improving port efficiency to enhance cargo handling capacity, speed up vessel movement, and reduce costs—especially as trade pressures persist and the trade deficit worsens in 2026.
