(Business in Cameroon) - The shipwrecks removed from Douala port will be auctioned. This was revealed by the port's authority informing that the shipwrecks removed from the port will be cut into pieces and sold in strict respect of environment and security standards.

The authority also reminds that the important part of this removal operation is to free spaces in the port; not the amount generated by the auction since the fund disbursed for the removal operation is higher than what the auction could generate.

Let’s note that to date, 80 old ships are in the Douala port but, during the current operation, 25 will be removed by the Italian Company Bonifacio hired for the task.
