The Autonomous Port of Conakry is a port in the city of Conakry, Guinea.
History edit
In 2008, the container port was granted to the subsidiary of Getma of the company Necotrans, a concession which was cancelled in 2011, by a legal decree[1].
In 2011, a public-private partnership agreement was signed between Bolloré and the Guinean state for the enlargement of the container terminal in exchange for assignment of management to the company of the container terminal for 25 years[2],[3].
In March 2011, Necotrans raised a complaint against Vincent Bolloré, CEO of the eponymous company, accusing him of having financed the electoral campaign of Guinean president Alpha Condé in 2010. The investigation opened by the parquet de Paris was closed without follow-up.[4].
In October, 2013, Bolloré was sentenced by the commercial court of Nanterre to pay 2.1 million Euros to Getma.
It is therefore under the "investments actually made by the Getma company" and which "benefitted the new concessionaire" that the Nanterre Commercial Court is charging Bolloré
[4].
Only members of the Union Nationale Des Transporteurs Routiers De La Guinee (UNTRG) are allowed to operate in the Port. [5]
