With a coastline stretching approximately 170 km along the Atlantic Ocean, Congo is home to a deep-water port and provides access to the sea for two landlocked Central African countries, Chad and the Central African Republic. The Port of Pointe-Noire, the only port in the Republic of Congo with a hinterland of over 100 million inhabitants, plays a major economic role in the development of the subregion.
The 84 hectares of the PAPN basin open onto the bay through a 180-meter-wide entrance channel, extended by a 1,200-meter access channel. Two private ship chandler companies located in the port provide ship bunkering. Drinking water and hydrocarbons are supplied to ships either at the quayside (pipeline, tanker trucks, etc.) or offshore by tugboats. Stevedoring, handling, consignment, and transit activities are contracted out to private companies.
The Autonomous Port of Pointe-Noire has a slipway for the careening of 700-tonne vessels, and private shipyards for maintenance and small naval repairs, as well as a large fleet of naval equipment and port tools.

PAPN welcomed the first ship carrying 15,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) on February 27, 2023. It is the largest container ship built by MSC Virgo in 2020 that has ever docked on the coasts of Central Africa.
The docking of the large container ship also marks the first connection between Asia and Pointe-Noire, on the Africa Express service offered by MSC, which offers the best crossing time on the market, between Asia and Central Africa. It also reinforces the PAPN's position as the main gateway to the Congo Basin.
A multimodal dock will be financed through a $500 million public-private partnership with AD Ports Group, the exclusive developer and regulator of Abu Dhabi's ports and related infrastructure.
The government will also create an international register of commercial and fishing vessels, making Congo a flag state. It also intends to work to protect maritime areas against pollution, piracy, and maritime crime.
