Port Overview

The Port of Pointe Noire is the only sea port of the Republic of the Congo. It is an important gateway to Brazzaville and it plays an important role of transhipment port for the port of Matadi, Luanda, Cabinda, and Soyo. Its construction started on July 11, 1934 and the official inauguration was on 1 April 1939.

The port has 2135 m of quay in the commercial zone, and 726 m of quay in the logistics oil zone. It also has specialized platforms, warehouses, specialized facilities. The container terminal is managed by the Company Bollore transport via Congo Terminal and logistics and has extension of 31 hectares for stocking space on Quai G. Facilities are complemented by the following storage spaces: a cement silo, a wheat silo, a wine cellar, hydrocarbon storage tanks and derived products and vegetable oil storage tanks.

The main operators in the Container Terminal besides Bollore who manages the terminal are Socotrans (for general deliveries and the strengthening of the depot area), Urbanisme et Commerce (UC) for concerns on the site security, the cleaning and sealing of the containers, Sat for the transport of the bulk cargoes, and CFCO for the transport of the goods via railway.

The port is currently non-congested and traffic is regular. The average queue time to access is from 0 to 24 hours.

Pointe Noire port is as of today one of the deep-water ports in West Africa with a draft up to 16m and can accommodate larger vessels up to 337 meters of length and capacity of 16000 - 18000 TEU’s. Entry and exit accesses are through a basin with an area of 84ha which opens into a 280 m wide bay. The Port is divided into three areas:

• The first zone is reserved for customs goods whose free stay is limited to 11 days for national transit, and 30 days for international transit;
• The second zone is a storage area with no time limit;
• The third zone is reserved for oil and industrial activity, as well as for port extensions.

The embankment represents a total area of 126 ha, including 66 ha at the commercial Port and 60 ha in the industrial area. The commercial Port also has a dedicated area for the processing of container traffic, logs and Eucalyptus logs. There is an ongoing project financed by AFD (70 million Euros) for the construction of a cereal berth of 250 m with a draft of 12 m. This project includes the construction of a fishing port.

Customs Guidance

The recommended procedure for customs clearance in general terms as follows:

Once all merchandise documents are available they should be handed to a forwarding agent who will complete the application and hand it over to the customs authorities. The declaration is a legal document and wrong information might lead to penalties. The declaration will be registered with the customs authorities and classified either for a normal procedure or an urgent process depending on the nature of the cargo. Documents required:

• Non-Commercial invoice
• Donor Certificate & Certificate of Origin
• Bill of Lading
• Packing list & Shipment advice
• Fumigation document
• Quality Certificate & Import licence.

Guichet Unique des Opérations Transfrontaliéres (GUOT)

The implementation of the GUOT process has taken effect in November 2014. This process has seen the introduction of the T.I number to affect the validation of the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) for all cargo destined to Republic of the Congo. The process requires that for a shipper to obtain the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) in French “BESC”, the consignee(s)/ importer(s) and his “transitaire” (freight forwarder) at Pointe-Noire should be registered at the GUOT (Guichet unique des operations transfrontalieres) in Congo.

In the past, the consignees/ importers and their transitaires were applying for an importation request or authorization directly from the Commerce department to allow them to get the ECTN (Besc) at the port of loading. Now, this process becomes electronic via the GUOT system. The consignee/importer or his freight forwarder once registered in GUOT system can validate all commercial operation (importation) to obtain the T.I number. The T.I number is compulsory for the validation of the BESC (ECTN).

Shippers are supposed to notify their consignees/ importers in Congo to register with the GUOT to obtain a T.I number which shall appear on the ECTN each time they want to export cargo to Congo via Pointe Noire or other ports of entry. Heavy fines shall be imposed by the Congolese authorities in event the shipper/consignee fails to comply with these new procedures.

Procedure to get T.I Number for ECTN (Electronic Cargo Tracking Note) validation

In application of circular n° 002/GUOT/DG of October 14th, 2014, it is compulsory for customers to use the electronic system of the Single Window Cross-Border Operations [GUOT – Guichet Unique des Operations Transfrontalières]. 

This system generates an identifier otherwise known as a TI number [Import Certificate number] once the receiver at destination has validated his importation declaration. This identifier is sent by the receiver to his shipper to permit him to make the boarding formalities. This identifier concerned only the shipper and the receiver; the carrier is not concerned that is why there is no obligation for the carrier to include this reference in transportation documents [Bill of Lading and manifest]. The TI number is a new requirement for Congo in addition of ECTN which remains compulsory.

1.  The supplier/Shipper abroad or at Port of loading sends a commercial invoice to the consignee/importer in Congo;
2.  With the commercial invoice, the consignee/importer in Congo or his freight forwarder registers and opens a file in the GUOT system to obtain the T.I number.
3.  Once the consignee/importer in Congo acquires the T.I number he sends it to the supplier/Shipper abroad or at Port of loading.
4.  With the T.I number, the entity acting on the supplier/Shipper’s instructions applies and validates the ECTN to be indicated on the BL.

The clearing processes takes around 10 days, so documents should be preferably presented to the forwarding agent least 5 days before ships arrival to avoid delays. There are at least 30 forwarding/clearing agents (transitaires) in the port and some of the main ones are: SDV Congo, GETMA/NECOTRANS, SOCOTRANS, TMC, AIS, SAT CONGO, TRANSIMEX CONGO S.A. The forwarding agent’s fees will depend on service level and type of cargo imported and are based on the port tariffs plus agency commissions.

The Republic of Congo is member of the WCO and a signatory of the revised Kyoto Convention and the Tampere Convention, all of which aims to facilitate the procedures for importation and communications in humanitarian emergencies. Duties and taxes exemption applies in principle to all humanitarian organizations, UN Agencies and INGOs that have an MoU with the Government, and for all types of merchandise imported by these organizations.
