As announced in early December, the operation of the port authority Port autonome de Douala (PAD) will be taken over directly under the supervision of the PAD until the awarding of a new concession contract. DIT’s 400 employees have been invited to join the container terminal authority RTC (Régie du terminal à conteneurs).
