International companies including China Harbour Engineering Co. are reportedly seeking involvement in a US$655mn port project in Cameroon. The port is to be located at Grand Batanga near Kribi on the Gulf of Guinea, and will aid in the export of petroleum, minerals, metals and agricultural products. Construction work is expected to start in 2010, with port facilities to be operational by 2013. According to plans, the port will have four terminals for containers, oil products, iron ore and aluminium.
