Kalemie Port is located about three kilometers south of the mouth of the Lukuga River in Kalemie, the capital of the Tanganyika Province of the Congo (Kinshasa). It was built in 1931. At present, the cranes in the port cannot work normally, the siltation is serious, and large ships cannot reach the dock, which seriously affects the transportation and trade of the Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries.
Facilitating Middle East-Africa Trade
This project is the first port and shipping project signed by the company in the Congo (DRC) by the combination of online and on-site negotiations by the joint representative office of the Northwest Africa regional branch when the new crown epidemic in Africa continues to spread. The project includes the restoration of Kalemie Port and the construction of a new FPI office building in Tanganyika Province. The repaired port processing capacity will be increased from the original 180,000 tons/year to 1.5 million tons/year.
The successful signing of the project is another achievement of the company's implementation of Energy China's "Several Opinions", adherence to market-oriented, and rolling development in Congo (DRC). The implementation of the Kalemie port restoration project will greatly improve the traffic and logistics transportation conditions in the eastern part of the Congo (DRC) and neighboring countries, provide greater convenience for the transportation and trade corridor between China and East Africa, and help the Belt and Road Initiative.
