French Havre Port to provide technical support to deep sea port in Kribi


Visiting Cameroon to exchange with their local partners, about boosting the volume of transactions between Cameroonian and French ports, the management of the Haropa ports (Le Havre, Rouen, Paris) have revealed that they have already established a partnership with the brand new deep water port of Kribi, which commissioning is announced for the end of the second quarter 2016.


"We have a partnership agreement with the deep water port of Kribi, through the port of Le Havre, which is a deep water port", indicated Nicolas Ocis, Managing Director of the port of Rouen.

In concrete terms, he specified, as part of this partnership, the French port of Le Havre "will provide technical support to the port of Kribi in its operational phase". According to the same source, the Haropa ports are already in partnership with the Douala port, to which they provide "engineering solutions".

But aside from this partnership on technical and operational issues, the Haropa ports appear as more competitive for Cameroonian exports. Indeed as highlighted by Hervé Cornède, Managing Director of the port of Le Havre, "on prices, the Haropa ports offer a square metre at €42 (approximately FCfa 45,850), against €70 (about FCfa 45,850) and €200 (about FCfa 131,000) in other European ports". This price list could probably explain the importance of the volume of transactions between these French and Cameroonian ports, which is officially estimated to be in excess of 300,000 tons of goods per year.
