(Business in Cameroon) - Concessionaire of the Douala port lumber yard, Société d’exploitation des parcs à bois du Cameroun (SEPBC), announced the January 12, 2015 launch of a tugboat christened “Bahia, named after a rare, prized wood essence,” in an effort to speed-up ship loading. This was announced in a press release that the company has just issued.

According to the lumber yard concessionaire, last December, 105,893 m³ of wood (81,017 m³of logs and 24,873 m³ of standing timber) were moved. “These figures bring the total volume of wood delivered in 2014 to 1,203,000 m³. This performance is an indicator that congestion in the Douala port lumber yard is coming to an end,” stated SEPBC.
