Pepel

Pepel is a coastal town in the Port Loko District in the Northern Province of Sierra Leone.

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

Railway
Pepel is connected by a 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.

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