The General Manager of the Cameroon National Shippers' Council (CNSC), Mr. Auguste Mbappe Penda, received a delegation from the Democratic Republic of Congo's Multimodal Freight Management Office (OGEFREM) today, 12 May 2025.

The three-man delegation comprising Mr. Francis Bedy Makhubu (Consultant Director), Mr. Augustin Samba (Assistant), and Mrs. Bambi Bukumbabu (Head of the Facilitation Office), is in Cameroon to gather information on the operationalisation of the Kribi - North DRC corridor passing through the Central African Republic, in an effort to resolve freight haulage issues to and from the far north region of the DRC.

In response, CNSC's General Manager proposed a visit to the town of Kribi in the coming days. This will enable the Congolese delegation to meet with officials from other administrations closely involved in Cameroon's foreign trade and to visit the port and trade facilitation infrastructures.

This visit, which comes just one day after the world's largest cargo ship docked at the Port of Kribi on 8 May 2025, highlights the prominent position that Cameroon now occupies in multimodal transport across Central Africa.
