Neves is a small town on the north west coast of São Tomé Island in São Tomé and Príncipe. It is the seat of the Lembá District. Its population is 4,107 (2008 est.).[1] It is considered a likely location for a future deep water port. Currently, the city does not have a dock or pier capable of receiving ships. Neves is home to the few industrial facilities on the island, such as the petroleum terminal and the brewery. The fuel terminal receives fuel by floating a hose out to ships at anchor, and pumping the fuel ashore.
