The foundation of the harbor was laid in 1895 by French Lieutenant Noel Ballay, governor of the French Guinea colony. A pier about 100 meters long and 5 meters wide was built and this was accepted as the starting point. From the end of the 19th century, the physiognomy of the harbor has undergone major changes, replacing the piers and granite filling, building the reserve dam, enlarging the main dock, building warehouses, installing water and electricity pipes, and fixing the rails along the quay. During these dates, Conakry Port played a leading role in sending natural resources from Guinea to the “French Metropolis”.

With the independence of Guinea in 1958, national companies were established to increase port activities, but then the activities of these companies were combined and Port Autonome de Conakry (PAC) was established by the state in 1982.

In 2018, a 25-year contract was signed with Albayrak Group with an investment of approximately 500 million dollars to expand, modernize, manage, operate the port, and make it more competitive on an international scale. Conakry Port has undergone a real transformation since the contract came into force.

Priority targets have been set to face the challenges of competitiveness: rehabilitation and maintenance of existing infrastructure and equipment, modernization of the port by purchasing 5 ultra-modern lifting cranes ranging from 80-140 tons, construction of penetrant, construction of 3 new scales, construction of sewage systems, the establishment of the automation system, all Modernization of the electrical system and many more studies are ongoing.

Along with Alport’s broad experience in logistics around the world, the increase in the volume of cargo transported from Central Asian countries to Europe and Turkey will be promoted, and modern logistics solutions will provide operational work and add value to the Azerbaijan economy by increasing the flow of cargo to the port.
