The Kribi deep seaport is under construction. The  Kribi Seaport will principally be used to export of iron ore from about 500 kilometres (310 mi) away. Specifically, the port is at Grand Batangaabout halfway between Kribi and the border with Equatorial Guinea, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi), by road, to the south of Kribi. Since there is no natural harbour at Kribi at present,, the port is several kilometres offshore where deepwater of at least 20 metres (66 ft) is suitable for large Capesize ships. It is also the location for the Kribi lighthouse.
