Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) Harbour, located in Algoa Bay, began its formal development following the arrival of British settlers in 1820. The bay provided an anchorage, and the port was officially established in 1825. Early operations relied on surfboats to transfer cargo and passengers to and from ships. The first harbour works began mid-19th century and a breakwater was completed in 1933 to provide improved accessibility. As a key entry point for goods and people heading to the Eastern Cape's interior, the port played a significant role in the region's development and its trade, particularly in the wool industry. It is currently a key export hub for the local automotive and citrus industries, handling vehicles, containers, and bulk cargo for the Eastern Cape.
