Sea transport to Tunisia | sea export from Poland to Tunisia

Tunisia is not only about tourism, this country has developed sectors such as textiles, footwear, fertilizers, food products (olives, fruit), electronics, aerospace and mechanical industries. Some European countries have relocated factories to Tunisia precisely because of the low cost of labour. The average salary in Tunisia is currently PLN 1 800. 

The export structure was dominated by products in the following categories: machinery and equipment (25% total value), clothing and textile products (18%), petroleum (8%), olive oil (5%), optical equipment (4%) and chemical products (4%).

Imports were dominated by products from the following categories: fuels and petroleum products (19% of total imports), machinery and equipment (18%), plastics (6%), cars and other vehicles (5%), cereals (5%) and metal and iron articles (4%).

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Tunisia is USD 46.3 billion, meaning that the country's economy produces this value of goods and services annually. Tunisia's GDP has remained around the same level for several years, suggesting that the country's economy is relatively stable, although not showing dynamic growth.

The stagnation in GDP levels can be attributed to a variety of factors, such as volatile political conditions, regional and global economic turmoil, as well as internal challenges faced by Tunisia, including high unemployment, particularly among young people, and limited foreign investment.

Export to Tunisia | Sea freight from Poland to Tunisia

Exporting goods to Tunisia by sea can be done from the port of Gdansk, which is one of the main sea ports in Poland. Shipping goods by sea from Gdansk to one of the ports in Tunisia takes an average of about 22 days, depending on weather conditions and the selected carrier.

Various types of cargo can be shipped as part of this transport, both less than container load (LCL) and full container load (FCL). LCL cargoes are shipments that do not fill an entire container and are transported with other shipments, which can be cost-effective for smaller consignments. FCL loads, on the other hand, involve reserving an entire container for one shipper, which is ideal for larger volumes of goods requiring dedicated space.
