Antseranana : Profile

Location

Located on the northern tip of the island.

Docking

Anchoring in Diego Suarez (Antsiranana) should be done with extreme care, as there are a number of unmarked wrecks, particularly after last cyclons in 2008 and 2009.

Also, be aware that your electronic chart position may be not correct. Some can be over half a mile out! Eyeball navigation is essential.

Last updated October 2009.
