Kribi Multipurpose Terminal (KMT), a Cameroonian subsidiary of Philippines-based International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI), has started commercial operations at the Multi-Purpose Terminal of the Port of Kribi in Cameroon.
Located within the Port of Kribi, KMT is purposely built to handle multi-purpose shipping line services including: Ro-Ro, project, and heavy lift cargo; forestry products; dry bulk and other general cargoes; and to offer support services to the oil and gas industry.
Under the concession contract, KMT will develop, operate, and maintain the multi-purpose facility at Kribi, a newly built deep-water port located 170 kilometres south of Douala.
The concession contract has a duration of 25 years until 2045.
The Port of Kribi is located on the Atlantic coast 285 kilometres from the capital Yaoundé. It is strategically positioned in the center of the Gulf of Guinea and is at the front of a logistics corridor into Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, and as far as Gabon and Congo.
