Liberia’s National Port Authority (NPA) on Monday launched a $550 million strategic plan for 2025-2030 aimed at transforming the country’s port industry, improving efficiency, and positioning Liberia as a leading maritime and logistics hub in West Africa.
The plan is built around four key priorities: infrastructure modernization, governance reform, operational efficiency, and financial diversification.
The governance pillar calls for overhauling a system that dates back to the 1970s, digitizing administrative processes, developing human capital, creating a sustainable financial model, and diversifying services to strengthen the sector’s resilience.
To reduce congestion at the Freeport of Monrovia and boost cross-border trade, the NPA plans to develop inland terminals extending Liberia’s logistics chain into Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Côte d’Ivoire. Managing Director Sekou Dukuly said the expansion would make Liberia “an indispensable logistics player in West Africa.”
The authority also plans to establish a dedicated port infrastructure investment fund, allocating 15-20% of annual revenues for expansion, renovation, and modernization projects.
