This 13 April 2021, when receiving the ‘’ Gottwald 8412’’, the mobile crane on wheels, the container terminal of the Port of Kribi affirmed once again its competitive positon as the most attractive platform in the Central African sub-region especially.

Out of the 26,300 ha of land belonging to the artificial public domain, 20,000 ha are intended to host commercial, logistics and industrial activities by 2040. To make them functional, PAK has embarked on developing a major infrastructure network (roads and highways, railway, water supply system, power supply system, etc.) To meet the current demand and needs expected by 2027, 1,200 ha will be earmarked out of a gross area of almost 3,000 ha for the establishment of activities in the areas adjacent to the Port.

A socioeconomic tour initiated a few weeks earlier in his constituency was the idea NOUHOU BELLO, the new Senior Divisional Officer (SDO) of the Ocean Division, to get acquainted not only with the Port of Kribi, but also to take stock of the implementation level of each of the other facilities forming the Kribi Port Industrial Complex, a great Vision of the overarching projects.
