GN Prefix and UN/LOCODE Structure
Guinea uses the country prefix GN in UN/LOCODE records. The remaining three characters identify the port or location, producing codes such as GNCON, GNKMR and GNDPL.

Guinea Port Overview
Guinea's maritime network is concentrated on the Atlantic coast and is closely linked to mineral exports, especially bauxite, as well as containers, breakbulk and project cargo. Ecer Freight's indexed coverage distinguishes database records from national port-system totals and international league-table rankings.

Top Ports in Guinea by Indexed Activity
The table follows the activity order of the Ecer Freight sample. Guinea does not have a consistently published national league table with comparable 2025 container figures for these individual facilities, so unavailable rank, throughput and YoY fields are shown together as unavailable rather than estimated.

Understanding Guinea Port Codes
City-Level and Terminal-Level Records
A city-level record and a terminal or facility record may coexist for the same operating area. Conakry appears as both GNCON and GNCKY in the indexed sample, so the exact booking location should be confirmed before documentation.
How to Verify a Code
Check the official UNECE UN/LOCODE reference and compare it with the Ecer Freight port directory. Carriers, terminals and forwarders may apply operational aliases differently.
Shipping from Guinea: Main Trade Lanes
Indicative routing depends on vessel schedules, transshipment hubs, cargo type, terminal restrictions and seasonal operating conditions. Transit times require confirmation against the sailing date and final destination.
Guinea to Northern Europe
Minerals, project cargo and general freight may move from Guinea's Atlantic gateways through European hub networks.
Guinea to Mediterranean Markets
Containerized goods and industrial cargo can connect with Mediterranean markets through scheduled West Africa services and hub ports.
Guinea to Asia
Bauxite-related and industrial supply chains may use West African loading points and Asian transshipment or destination ports.
Guinea to West African Markets
Regional services support container, breakbulk and coastal cargo movements between Guinea and neighboring West African markets.
