Port of Jinja

Jinja Port (UN/LOCODE UGJIN), situated on the northeastern shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda’s Eastern Region, serves as a inland gateway for cargo moving between East Africa’s hinterland and international maritime routes via the Nile‑Lake‑Lake Victoria transport corridor. Operating within the Africa/Kampala timezone, the port leverages its coordinates at 0.4478° N, 33.2026° E to facilitate bulk handling of agricultural exports, minerals, and manufactured goods, supporting trade integration and logistics efficiency. Berth facilities, customs clearance capabilities, and multimodal connections to road and rail networks enhance its role as a hub for import‑export activities, fostering growth and investment opportunities across the Great Lakes basin.
