About the National Port Authority of Liberia

The National Port Authority (NPA) was established by an Act of the National Legislature in 1967 and amended in 1970 as a state-owned corporation to manage, plan, and build all public ports in Liberia. The NPA system encompasses four ports:

  1. Freeport of Monrovia: This is the largest and the main port within the Authority’s network.
  2. Port of Buchanan
  3. Port of Greenville
  4. Port of Harper

The strategic vision for the NPA is to become a premier port in West Africa through partnerships with both the public and private sectors. By doing so, the NPA aims to strengthen the economy, improve international trade, and promote tourism and community development. The goal is to make the ports of entry and their surrounding areas efficient and effective for generations to come. [1] [ Read More ]
