Port

Pepel has a port in the Sierra Leone River used for shipping bulk iron ore via the mining company African Minerals.[1]

Railway

Pepel is connected by a 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge 84 km long railway to an iron ore mine at Marampa.

It is proposed to introduce a more efficient balloon loop at the port.[2]

An extension of this line to a deeper port at Tagrin Point is also proposed.

gollark: No, your queries have to go to authoritative servers eventually.
gollark: I think right now my DNS traffic is run through dnscrypt-proxy, which uses whatever happens to offer the lowest latency out of a big list of DNS providers which claim not to keep logs.
gollark: I mostly just end up buying cheap fairly okay ones with usably sized batteries, but they still don't have keyboards.
