(Business in Cameroon) - Cameroonian authorities just made available, within the port of Douala, an area covering 10 ha that will serve as a logistics base for Chadian goods in transit in Cameroon.

This move is to make the transit of goods of neighboring Chad’s economic operators easier and safer within Cameroon's most frequented port, following complaints about hassles experienced at the port of Douala ; hassles and other problems that, according to authorities of the Autonomous Port of Douala (PAD) themselves, diverted several Chadian and Central African economic operators, from the port of Douala, who now transit goods through Benin and Sudan’s ports. Indeed, we learnt, the increasing attractiveness of these two ports has caused the port of Douala to lose around 50% of the market share on goods bound for Chad and CAR.

However, despite this decline, the port of Douala handles at least XAF340 billion Chadian goods each year mainly thanks to the Douala-N'djamena corridor.
