Where do containers of Port of Douala go?

The distribution of the volume of goods handled by the container terminal of the port of Douala showed that 80% are domestic, while only 20% go to Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR). This was revealed by Frederik Klinke (photo), Managing Director of Douala International Terminal (DIT), a company controlled by Bolloré-APM Terminals, during an interview with Défis Actuels.

According to him, this figure which reflects a decrease in volumes to the two hinterland countries is the result of a decline in the prices of oil and other commodities during 2015 and 2016, across the entire CEMAC region.
