Kribi Ports Complex: Steering committee adopt installation plan
04/03/2009: Members of the steering committee of Kribi Deep Sea Port met last week end for their fourth session. The meeting was chaired by the Chairman of the committee, Louis Paul Motaze. During the sitting, the new plan for the installation of the ports infrastructure was examined and adopted.
This new plan takes account of the different changes recorded since the earlier feasibility studies on the project.
The new traffic projection of the port for example, has prompted the re -adaptation of the building plan.
According to the new plan, the kribi port installations shall extend to some virgin sites where the environment will not be greatly affected.
These installations have been shift downwards to localities in the southern parts of kribi where the marine, topographical and environmental conditions are best to host vessels.
This 282 billion francs project shall now be made up of four terminals;
The Kribi terminal would be built for artisan fishing and leisure activities. The grand Batanga terminal would be specialised in tourism, industrial, fishing and other similar activities. The Mboro terminal would see the industrial, commercial and naval activities. The Lolabe terminal would be focused on the transportation of iron ore and minerals. The decision to have the terminals specialised in specific services, was made at the end of a round table conference organised in Yaoundé in May 2008 during which investors declared their intensions towards the project
