What happened
CHEC has completed the first and second phases of the Kribi Deep Seaport in coastal Kribi, Cameroon. The project was conceived as a deep-water port to complement the Port of Douala, the country's main port, which struggles to accommodate large vessels due to its shallow estuary. The surrounding area has undergone a significant transformation, evolving from a remote fishing hamlet into a zone with an expanding industrial and logistics economy.

Why it matters
The completion of the deep-water port fulfills a long-term national ambition to establish alternative maritime infrastructure. This development is intended to ease pressure on the Port of Douala and support Cameroon's goals of industrialization and national trade facilitation through new port capacity.
