Conakry is a port city on the Atlantic Ocean and serves as the economic, financial and cultural centre of Guinea, West Africa. Conakry terminal has carried out extension work to its wharf – a new berth of 12/340 metres – and to its 12-hectare container terminal. These projects, together with the installation of two new gantry cranes and a 5.8 MGW power plant, have brought facilities at the Port of Conakry to the highest international standards.

Conakry terminal also has a project to develop an inland container depot with a rail connection to streamline the movement of goods. The city’s economy revolves largely around the port, which has modern facilities for handling and storing cargo, through which alumina and bananas are shipped.
