About This Seaport

Cameroon's Kribi Deepwater Port has tripled its container capacity to more than one million TEU a year since its second terminal opened in May 2025, up from roughly 300,000 TEU when the first terminal began operating in March 2018. Built with Chinese financing and construction by China Harbour Engineering Company on the Gulf of Guinea, the port is positioning itself as Cameroon's and Central Africa's new deep-water gateway, taking pressure off the older, frequently congested port of Douala. The Kribi Container Terminal (KCT) is run under a 25-year concession by a consortium of Bolloré Africa Logistics, shipping line CMA CGM and CHEC. The new terminal adds a 715-metre quay, a 30-hectare yard, five quay cranes rated at 65 tonnes each and 15 yard cranes, and can accommodate vessels of up to 8,000 TEU. CMA CGM's Asia-West Africa Service (ASAF), run jointly with Maersk and Nile Dutch, gives Kribi a direct connection to Asia and other West African ports. Channel depth of around 16 metres allows considerably larger ships than Douala can handle. A further expansion under CHEC, due to start construction in July 2026, is expected to lift capacity to as much as 1.2 million TEU by 2028. Detailed customs procedures and hinterland rail links for Kribi are still developing and not yet fully confirmed publicly, so shippers should verify current requirements with the Port Authority of Kribi (PAK).
