Cameroon is a transit hub because its ports receive goods on transit to landlocked countries like Chad and the Central African Republic. On 13 February 2018, the Cameroon National Shippers' Council (CNSC) under the stewardship of Mr. Auguste Mbappe Penda, proceeded to the laying of the foundation stone of the Kousseri Logistics Base in the Far North Region of Cameroon. Kousséri, which is located along the Cameroon-Chad corridor, is a trade hub between these two countries. This explains why the event was also attended by a delegation from Chad National Shippers' Council (COC-Chad) led by its General Manager Mr. Moustapha Nour Mahamat.

The project will be delivered in 2022. The facility that will cover 4.5 hectares shall comprise an administrative block, a car park with a capacity of more than 200 trucks, a 60-room accommodation centre, a restaurant and a borehole for drinking water. The construction of the Kousseri logistic base will provide safe storage for goods and improve the conditions of transporting them from Cameroon to Chad and also to Nigeria, which has a long border with Cameroon.

It will also host CNSC's Far North Regional Office whose mission is, inter alia, to ease administrative procedures. This is already the case in Kribi where the Electronic Cargo Tracking note is being issued. That way, business persons will no longer have to go to Douala to obtain the ECTN -   an indispensable foreign trade operation document
