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.
