Officials in Cameroon’s Port of Douala-Bonabéri reported that they have been able to resume operations after a bulker and a cargo ship collided early on Sunday, July 12. A crisis team responded as the cargo ship Black Rhino, loaded with containers, began sinking, potentially blocking access to the country’s main port.
The Port of Douala-Bonabéri handles the majority of Cameroon’s trade. It is also a critical transshipment port, maintaining a transit corridor inland to Chad and the Central African Republic.
The Port Authority said the bulker Sea Honor (28,400 dwt) was outbound in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The Chinese vessel, which is registered in Tuvalu, was built in 1998 and is 177 meters (582 feet) in length.
