On behalf of the President of the Republic, H.E. Paul BIYA, the Prime Minister, Head of Government, Chief Dr. Joseph Dion NGUTE, presided on September 22 over the official inauguration of the Bipindi–Grand Zambi iron mine (operated by G-Stone) and the groundbreaking ceremony for the Kribi Port mineral terminal, to be developed by Sinosteel Cam. The ceremonies were attended by the Acting Director General of the National Port Authority, Mrs. Pamela AYUKETAH, along with several members of Government. The Bipindi–Grand Zambi deposit is valued at USD 33.3 billion, with a targeted annual production of 6 million tons of iron concentrate. The State will benefit from approximately 10% of turnover, ordinary tax revenues after return on investment, and 10% dividends as part of its free equity share. The Kribi mineral terminal, marking the launch of Phase 3 of the Kribi Port project, will not only serve the Lobe iron ore deposit operated by Sinosteel, but also other Cameroonian and regional mining sites. With a projected handling capacity of over 8 million tons per year, the project is valued at over USD 400 billion. It is expected to generate similar benefits for the State, including 10% of turnover and dividends from its free equity share. A concession agreement between the Kribi Port Authority (PAK) and Sinosteel is to be finalized in the near future.

To follow up of the recommendations made from the 30th of May to the 1st of June 2022 during their last visit, and to inquire about the level of progression of major projects underway at the Port Authority of Kribi, was the purpose of the mission of a delegation of APN executives led by the Director of Studies, Prospective, Port Development and Digital Mr. Simon Pierre EDIBA, the head of delegation. He was received in audience for the occasion, by Mr. Patrice MELOM, General Manager of the Port Authority of Kribi. The tour of the port's various construction sites, terminals and other sites revealed the presence of agro-industries, cement factories, machinery assembly lines, warehouses, timber yards and other facilities, undeniable proof of the gradual installation of investors in the port's industrial zone. The final step of this visit was a tour of the deep-water seaport and the highway under construction. In view of all this, the rate of completion of the projects has been estimated at almost 45%. It is clear that progress on major projects at the Kribi Port Authority is satisfactory. A working session with the PAK's officials and Heads of Departments to obtain additional information rounded off the five-day mission, which was also an opportunity for this young and dynamic staff of the PAK to immerse themselves in the realities of the port sector's activities.
