The port regularly operates at 80% of its capacity. Its geographical location is on the Wouri River estuary, which is reached from the sea by a 50-km channel that requires constant and costly dredging. The Douala-Bonabéri Port handled more than 1,210 vessels.The average time for a vessel at quay is estimated at 3.4 days.
The Kribi Seaport with a depth of 16m, will be equipped during its first phase with high technology port infrastructures including a terminal container accessible to the vessels carrying 8,000 containers in same time. With its 615m of quay for the first part, the Kribi port can receive simultaneously 2 vessels of 290m carrying 50,000 mt of commodities - more than double the maximum of Douala port which is 20,000 mt. Three operational porticos of 68 mt, 35 mt and 25 mt will reduce the stand-by of the vessels.
