The government of the Republic of Congo has called for expressions of interest from firms to develop the Dolisie dry port project.

The project will facilitate breakbulk handling and is part of the Libreville-Brazzaville-Pointe Noire Corridor, which will improve transport links in the region.

The government is looking for firms to carry out more detailed study following €80 million funding for feasibility analysis from the African Development Bank.

“The Dolisie section of the corridor in Niari Province of southwestern Congo is seen as the missing link. A dry port is also planned for Ndendé in Gabon. The funds will also cover the cost of development of the Ndendé-Doussala-Dolisie road,” a spokesperson for analyst firm Africa House said.
