Our Port Concessions

The Autonomous Port of Conakry (APC) has established port concessions with several key stakeholders to strengthen its operations and connectivity. Among these concessions, the Alport Conakry group signed a twenty-five-year contract for the management of the “conventional” part of the port, which handles goods that are not containerized. In return for this agreement, the company committed to investing $200 million over two years and $500 million in the long term, thereby enhancing the port’s operational capacities. Among the works and acquisitions completed and ongoing, we can mention:

• The rehabilitation and equipment of the Conventional Port;
• The construction of the access road and parking areas;
• The construction and development of a 400 m long quay founded at 12 m, and a 10-hectare yard in the East Zone

Furthermore, the APC has established a concession agreement for the Container Terminal with the Bolloré Africa Logistics Group. This collaboration strengthens the APC’s capacities in container handling and contributes to the efficiency and speed of port operations. The duration of the agreement is 25 years, with an estimated investment cost of 500 million euros. Among the works completed and equipment acquired, we have:

• The construction of a quay with a length of 340 linear meters and a depth of –13 meters ;

• The development of 5,000 square meters at the Kagbélén Dry Port.

In addition, the Rusal Guinea Group is also a key player within the port, contributing to the management and development of port activities. Its activities are as follows:

These strategic partnerships demonstrate the APC’s commitment to establishing strong collaborations with key stakeholders to enhance its operational capacities, improve the efficiency of port operations, and contribute to the region’s economic development.
