(Business in Cameroon) - Referred to as the “French leader in dredging, water and subaquatic works,” Entreprises Morillon Corvol Courbot (EMCC) has just created a subsidiary in Douala, Cameroon’s economic capital. This was announced in a legal notice published on April 7, 2015.

An official document reveals that EMCC Cameroon was created “to effect a contract signed with the Dangote Company to conduct dredging and also build a wharf along the Wouri River.” The wharf should facilitate the offloading of raw materials for the 1.6 million-tonne capacity per annum Dangote group cement factory which recently launched production on the banks of the Wouri River in Douala.

A member of the global construction leader, the Vinci group of companies, EMCC indicates on its website that it specialises in dredging, maritime construction, civil engineering, laying conduits and subaquatic works.
