Port Overview
Goods traffic at Ivory Coast's main port of Abidjan jumped more than 87 percent in the first half of 2012 compared to the same period last year as the country rebounded from a brief post-election conflict that hobbled trade, port authorities said.
Shipping via the port was timid from February to May 2011 due to violence which erupted after former president Laurent Gbagbo refused to recognise the election victory of rival Alassane Ouattara.
Ouattara, now president, called for a ban on cocoa exports from the world's top grower amid the unrest, a decision that was generally respected.
"Merchandise traffic and vessel traffic rose to 11,216,301 tonnes and 1,513 stop-overs respectively, compared to 5,994,755 tonnes and 834 stopovers through June 2011," a statement published by the port authority on Friday said.
Net profits for the autonomous port stood at 3.54 billion CFA francs ($6.98 million) during the first half of 2012, compared to just 548 million CFA francs during the same period last year.
In terms of outlook, the Autonomous Port of Abidjan expects to maintain growth started in the first half throughout the second half.
The port of Abidjan is one of the region's principal shipping hubs. The bulk of top grower Ivory Coast's cocoa exports passes through Abidjan, as do around 60 percent of goods entering and exiting land-locked Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
However, Abidjan lost ground to regional competitors over the past decade due to an intermittent conflict that discouraged outside investments and froze development until it ended after a brief war last year.
The port authority opened bidding in June for the construction and management of a second container terminal with a 1.5 million container capacity expected to be completed in 2016.
French industrial conglomerate Bollore announced plans last week to spend up to $79 million by 2015 to double capacity at the container terminal it manages at the port.

Port Handling Equipment
Port equipment is managed by a private company called Terminal San Pedro (TSP). The port authority does not carry out any cargo handling operations, neither on board of the vessels nor ashore. The port has therefore no cargo handling equipment whatsoever. The port provides weighbridge facilities (60 MT capacity). All trucks or tractors and trailers are weighed as they enter and leave the port.
The Port Autonome de San Pedro has bought a GODWALL mobile crane – capacity 100 MT or 40 MT at 40 meters for assisting vessels with the discharge and loading of containers. This will allow gearless container vessels to call at San Pedro. The crane will be operated by MSC shipping line but will be available to all the stevedoring companies operating at San Pedro port.
The stevedoring companies also have a lot of forklits and equipment to operate conventional and breakbulk vessels. The Daily Take Off Capacity is 2000 ton for bulk cargo; 12 hours maximum residence time in the harbour for container ships and up to 48 hours for other vessels
Container Facilities
There are no specific container berths at San Pedro. All containers are discharged and loaded with a GODWALL mobile crane.
The 4 multi-purpose general cargo berths are indifferently used for general cargo vessels, containers vessels and grain vessels. The latter ones are berthed at the North end of the quayside close to the GMA’s silos.
All the private stevedoring companies have a dedicated container stacking area.

Côte d'Ivoire - 2.3 Road Network
Rapid Logistics Capacity Assessments - March 2022:
RLCA - Evaluation des Routes - (Korhogo - Pogo / CIV - Mali)
RLCA - Evaluation des Routes - (Korhogo - Nigouni / CIV - Mali)
RLCA - Evaluation des Routes - (Korhogo - Laleraba / CIV - Burkina Faso)
Overview
The road network can be considered as good in Côte d’Ivoire. This is particularly the case for all the trunk roads linking all the regions and main townships in the country. The road network is particularly well adapted for long distance haulage. The main corridors leading from the ports of Abidjan and San Pedro to Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana are in fair to good condition. Although no serious road maintenance works have been conducted since 2002, since 2012 a huge program of road construction and maintenance works have been undertaken across the entire country and as a result road conditions are improving. The third bridge of Abidjan was opened in December 2014. The highway starting from Abidjan was extended to Yamoussoukro in 2013, which is 230 km of 2x3 routes. Users are required to pay toll fees for both of these pieces of infrastructure.
Many other roads are under construction or are undergoing rehabilitation. There are two national authorities, FER and AGEROUTE, dealing with roads, maintenance works and controlling. The controlling of the gross vehicle weight or the adherence to the maximum allowed weight per axle has been effective since August 2015 at the main highway (Abidjan – Yamoussoukro) and at borders to prevent the overloading of vehicles. Except for a few initiatives undertaken regionally, the condition of secondary and local roads (gravel or earth) network is generally bad to extremely bad. Maintenance works are not regular and have not been for some time. Road traffic is limited to 4x4, pick-up trucks or rigid chassis trucks with 10 to 15 tons capacity.

The transit times indicated here above are for a Toyota Landcruiser travelling under normal road and weather conditions. Roadblocks are numerous but delays are kept to a bare minimum for UN and NGO passenger vehicles.
Trailer/lorries cruise at an average speed of 40 to 50 km but controls at checkpoints, roadblocks and road cutters’ barriers may entail long delays. For a lorry, the journey from Abidjan Port to Korhogo may require two 12 hour days of driving.
Road Security
Unsafe road conditions, unskilled drivers, and poorly maintained and overloaded vehicles create very poor driving conditions. Speed limits, lane markings, and signals are not respected, and vehicle drivers do not yield for pedestrians or bicyclists.

Côte d'Ivoire - 2.3.5 Land Border Crossing of Gbeunta
Overview
Ivory Coast shares a land border with five countries - Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea and Liberia. At each of these borders, there is at least one official land border crossing where authorities are established (customs, police, etc.). The borders with Ghana (Noe and Niable), Burkina Faso (Laleraba) and Mali (Pogo) are the most used and well equipped with roads in good conditions. The borders with Liberia (Pekan houli, Gbeunta) and Guinea (Sirana, Gbapleu) are not used as frequently. There are partially improved roads which may be impracticable in bad weather, and numerous small bridges.
Below is the available detailed information concerning some of these land border crossings.

Côte d'Ivoire - 2.4 Railway Assessment
Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso jointly own SITARAIL, a transnational railway. The line was one of the first in Africa to be awarded as a concession to the private sector in 1995 and is a key conduit for transport of bulk freight to and from landlocked Burkina Faso. Between 2000 and 2005, Sitarail and the other West African railway concession—Transrail—were by far the strongest performing concessions on a wide range of operational indicators, including productivity of labor, locomotives, and rolling stock. Traffic density on Sitarail was close to 500,000 tonne-kilometers per route-kilometer, which was by far the highest in the region (although still low in absolute terms). Between 1995 and 2000, during the first five years of the concession, the volume of freight almost tripled from 300 million to 800 million tonnes annually.

Key Stations
Bouake railway station:
Bouake was before 2002 an important railway station. All local factories and warehouses had their own private railway siding. With the disappearance of trade and industry the railway sidings are not served anymore and totally overgrown. Transit (loading/unloading) must therefore be done at the Bouake railway station. There is a special siding with loading/discharging quay, which can accommodate 8 wagons simultaneously. No shunting locomotive is stationed in Bouake.
Small locomotive and wagon maintenance works are carried out. A recovery wagon mounted with a 20 MT capacity crane is available. The railway grid has 6 tracks of 900 meters.
Ferkessédougou railway station:
This railway station is being developed as a fully equipped dry port and transit point for goods destined for the cities of Korhogo, Boundiali , Odienné and the northern part of the country but also as a very promising interface for import and export goods into and from Mali. The freight station is operated by SAGA – SDV. A 40 MT container reach stacker and a 12 MT capacity forklift are permanently stationed in Ferkessédougou. There is a container yard – 200 m x 60 m. The container yard needs resurfacing. Various shipping lines offer export reefer transport (export of mangoes in the season). A generator with 6 plugs and 4 Gensets are readily available. Two very large covered warehouses are being refurbished in order to accommodate large import and export consignments (1 warehouse with 7 x 350 m² compartments - 1 warehouse with 5 x 350 m² compartments) Estimated storage capacity: 10 to 12.000 MT bagged cargo)

Côte d'Ivoire - 2.5 Waterways Assessment
Côte d’Ivoire has 980 km navigable rivers, canals and numerous coastal lagoons.
Passenger ferry services are quite well developed in all the lagoons stretching along the coastline. SOTRA – Société des transports Abidjanais is the sole company running a scheduled ferry services in the Abidjan larger city area along the Ebrie lagoon.
The ferries are purpose build ships with inboard engine and adequate life saving equipment. A study has revealed the existence of a potential demand for 500.000 ferry passages a day. Plans are in hand to increase the existing ferry capacity of SOTRA and to broaden the network of ferry service.
Many private operators are running coastal services at sea or on the lagoon with craftsmen build wooden launches (pinasses) fitted with outboard engines. Their capacities range from 20 to 100 passengers. Basic safety measures are often tampered with.
Out of Abidjan the following townships are served on a more or less regular basis: Grand-Lahou, Ebrah, Moussou, Adiaké and Assinie. However this latter type of transport is solely organized for the ferrying of passengers (often with a lot of personal effects) and is therefore not appropriate for the regular transport of large consignments of relief goods. Save large fleets of small fishing crafts, there is no organized water transport on the lakes or rivers inland. Short sea services between Abidjan and San Pedro can be organized at short notice.
Reputable shipping lines like MAERSK, SDV and MSC are running coastwise container services linking all the West African ports between Dakar in Senegal and Douala in Cameroun.

Côte d'Ivoire - 2.6 Storage Assessment
Rapid Logistics Capacity Assessments - March 2022:
RLCA - Evaluation des Entrepots - Stockage Commercial -Korhogo (EKSF)
RLCA - Evaluation des Entrepots - Stockage Commercial - Korhogo (SODIPREX)
Overview
There are ample storage facilities in the perimeters outside the ports of Abidjan and San Pedro. All the main stevedoring and C&F companies operate large warehousing facilities backed by excellent logistic services. However, spare warehouse capacity can be in very short supply during the cotton, coffee and cocoa export season (November – March). Further up country, good, well-ventilated warehouses are not as plentiful and those that do exist are not always designed for large-scale warehouse operations. The cotton, coffee and cocoa boards may have some spare capacity for rental outside the harvest season. Warehouse facilities are available in Bouake. In Ferkessédougou there is some 5.000 m² of good warehouse capacity available adjacent to the dry port /railway station. Small warehouses can be found in all the smaller townships with surfaces ranging between 200 to 500 m². They are more of the godown type with often only one small access, prohibiting mechanised handling or limiting discharging/loading operations to one truck at a time.

Public Sector Storage
The Direction Nationale des Cantines Scolaires – DNC has limited storage capacity available which can be rented for the storage of relief goods.
The Port Autonome d’Abidjan also has spare warehouse capacity to offer but given the warehouses are all located inside the port perimeter, rental costs can be high. Most warehouses inside the port perimeter are rented on a semi-permanent basis to large stevedoring companies. The Port Autonome de San Pedro – PASP is short on warehousing space and needs all its capacity for its cargo transit operations.

Cold Chain
Except for large-scale reefer chambers in Abidjan, strictly and solely reserved for the export of citrus fruit, there are no large-scale reefer chambers available in Côte d’Ivoire. For small consignments, arrangements can be made with meat or fish traders or with small department stores.
For the storage of medicines and vaccines it is recommended to use the reefer chambers of the Institut National d’Hygiène Public INHP. All the INHP reefer chambers are located close to the local or regional INHP office

Côte d'Ivoire - 2.7 Milling Assessment
- Milling Company LES GRANDS MOULINS d’ABIDJAN
- Milling Company LES GRANDS MOULINS d’ABIDJAN (San Pedro Mill)
LES GRANDS MOULINS d’ ABIDJAN – GMA is the grain milling company with two milling plants located respectively at the ports of Abidjan and San Pedro in CI. There are no milling plants up-country. GMA is pursuing its own rigorous trade and marketing policy. The full and sole control over the entire flour production and supply chain (purchase, milling, supply and distribution of flour to a group selected bakeries and traders) is regarded as one of the corner stones of GMA’s policy.
GMA wheat flour is exported to Guinea, Mali and Burkina Faso. The milling of flour for account of a third party is totally strange to GMA’s vision of conducting business. Milling of large parcels of grain for account of a third party is not excluded but it would require preliminary negotiations with the management and, more important, approval by the board of NIMRAND the mother holding of GMA. The GMA management in Abidjan and San Pedro is adamant to release many technical details of their milling plants.
On the other hand GMA is very willing to supply wheat flour to UN agencies and large international NGOs but on strictly commercial terms.
