The container terminal of the Autonomous Port of Conakry represents a symbol of development and modernization in the region. Originally built during the 2nd port project (1989–1992) with an area of 80,000 m² and a 270 m quay, founded at 10.50 m, the terminal underwent significant expansion through a Public-Private Partnership between the Bolloré Group and the Autonomous Port of Conakry. This collaboration enabled the construction of a new 330 m quay dedicated to Ro-Ro and container traffic, founded at 13 m, thereby enhancing the terminal’s handling capacity.
Today, the current container terminal platform covers 200,000 m², with a quay length of 600 m, allowing two ships to be accommodated simultaneously. These improvements have significantly strengthened the APC’s position as a major logistics hub in West Africa. The APC’s container terminal offers a full range of services, including logistics, container loading and unloading, handling, security, monitoring, and inventory management.

The Autonomous Port of Conakry is accessible via a southwest-oriented access channel, equipped with 13 international navigation buoys. This channel has a northeast incidence angle as it passes the Boulbinet lighthouse, located 1,000 m from the entrance to the port basin. It extends 5,000 m in length, 150 m in width, and has an average depth of 10 m [5].
The APC has a port basin with a depth of 10 m. It is protected by a 4,500 m long rock revetment that prevents silting of the basin and the inner channel.
They are designed to receive alumina, clinker, and raw materials intended for their processing. The quay has a length of 346 m and a depth of 10 m.
It extends over a length of 493 meters, from berth 02 to berth 05, with a depth ranging between 8 meters and 8.50 meters. It consists of two conventional berths, QP02 and QP03, with a length of 300 meters and a depth of 8.50 meters, as well as two other conventional berths, QP04 and QP05, with a length of 193 meters and a depth of 8 meters. Berths QP08 and QP09 are dedicated to bulk carriers transporting bauxite and include two quays with a total length of 296 meters and a depth of 11 meters. The quay length is 346 meters with a depth of 10 meters for the alumina berths QP0 and QP01.
The Tamara Lighthouse is located on Tamara Island, about 14 km from the Port of Conakry. It is built on a rock at a height of 104 meters above sea level and has a range of 50 km. The lighthouse serves as a guide for ships and aircraft, helping them better determine their course.
With a length of 190 meters and a depth of 11.50 meters, the oil quay was constructed as part of the second port project (1989–1992). It is equipped with 8 dolphins (4 for mooring and 4 for berthing) capable of accommodating tankers of over 45,000 metric tons. Operated by the Guinean Petroleum Company (SGP), the oil quay is connected to onshore tanks located 800 meters away, supplied by pipelines also owned by SGP. Maintenance of the quay, dredging of the water area, and security during tanker unloading operations are provided by the Autonomous Port of Conakry. The unloading and transfer of petroleum products are managed by the Guinean Petroleum Company, which bears the associated costs and risks.
