Waterways
The relatively short rivers of Madagascar are typically of local importance only; isolated streams and small portions of Lakandranon' Ampangalana (Canal des Pangalanes) are navigated by pirogue. Coastal inter-city transport routes are found along the west coast.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Madagascar has 600 km of waterways, 432 km of which are navigable.[1]
Ports and harbors
The most important seaport in Madagascar is located on the east coast at Toamasina. Ports at Toliara, Mahajanga, and Antsiranana are significantly less used because of their remoteness.[4] The island's newest port at Port d'Ehola, constructed in 2008 and privately managed by Rio Tinto, will come under state control upon completion of the company's mining project near Tôlanaro around 2038.[5] The country's principal cargo port is Toamasina Autonomous Port.[6]
Airports
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The main international airport in Madagascar is Ivato International Airport in Antananarivo.
