Operated by the Cameroon Oil Transportation Company (COTCO), the Kome Kribi 1 Marine Terminal exists for one purpose: lifting crude oil. It marks the seaward end of the 1,070 km Chad–Cameroon pipeline, sitting as an open roadstead roughly ten kilometres off the coast and southwest of Kribi. At its centre is the 357,000 dwt floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) "Kome Kribi 1", which loads tankers of up to about 320,000 dwt through a single-point mooring. The terminal handles Chad's Doba Blend crude at a production rate of around 100,000 barrels per day, with ExxonMobil holding a 40 percent stake. No containers, breakbulk or RoRo are processed here, so the facility is relevant to tanker and energy shippers only. A replacement for the ageing FSO is under planning. For boxed or general cargo bound for Cameroon, the deep-water port of Kribi or the port of Douala are the practical gateways.
