Port autonome de Douala, Commercial port and monument in Littoral region, Cameroon

The Port of Douala extends along the Wouri River estuary, handling container ships and cargo vessels as Central Africa's primary maritime gateway.

Established during colonial times, the port developed from a trading post into Cameroon's principal maritime facility, supporting regional commerce since the 1800s.

The port area connects multiple trading communities, creating a meeting point for merchants from Chad, Central African Republic, and other neighboring nations.

The port operates daily with dedicated terminals for different cargo types, including specialized areas for petroleum products and container storage facilities.

The port processes over 95% of Cameroon's maritime traffic and functions as both an active trade center and a nationally recognized monument.
