On October 8 the launch ceremony for Phase 1 of the deepwater port project in Kribi, Cameroon, was held.
Undertaken by China Harbour Engineering Company, the port is located about 30-kilometres south of Cameroon’s city of Kribi. The project involves a 50 000-tonne container berth, a 40 000-t multi-purpose berth, as well as relevant supporting facilities such as breakwater and port machinery. The contract is valued at US$489-million, and has a construction period of 36-months.
After project completion, Kribi Deepwater Port will play a positive role in promoting Cameroon’s economic development as a large container transit port and integrated hub port in Central Africa and West Africa.
