Welcome to Kribi Port

Kribi Port, situated on the Atlantic coast of Cameroon, serves as a pivotal maritime facility, facilitating trade and commerce in the central region of Africa. With its geographic coordinates marking it at 2º 55' 59'' N and 9º 55' 59'' E, Kribi Port provides essential access to international shipping routes, making it a strategic gateway for both import and export activities. Established to decongest the Douala Port, Kribi is set to enhance the capacity for handling larger vessels and increased cargo volumes, significantly impacting Cameroon’s trade dynamics. The port is managed by the Kribi Autonomous Port Authority, ensuring efficient operations and service delivery.

As one of the latest major ports in Cameroon, Kribi Port is designed with modern infrastructure to handle various types of cargo, including containers, general cargo, and industrial goods. Its location near the Kribi deep-sea area allows for larger vessels to dock, accommodating the needs of regional and international shipping lines that are vital for economic growth. This new development is expected to stimulate local industries, create jobs, and improve access to global markets, thereby contributing to the national economy.

In keeping with sustainable practices, Kribi Port has implemented various initiatives aimed at minimizing its environmental impact. These initiatives include efficient resource management, waste reduction strategies, and energy conservation efforts to promote a greener port operation. As Kribi Port continues to expand its operational capabilities and modernize its facilities, it remains committed to fostering economic development in Cameroon and solidifying its role as a key player in the maritime landscape of Africa.
