Maersk announced a new container depot in Kribi, Cameroon, on 21 September. The facility has capacity for 1,500 twenty-foot equivalent units and adds 16,000 square metres to the company’s West African depot network.
The depot offers cargo handling, storage and customs-related services, alongside digital booking and container tracking. It can handle refrigerated containers and provide food-grade equipment. Maersk says locating equipment closer to customers can improve availability and make empty-container returns easier.
Why it matters
Container supply depends on inland infrastructure as well as vessels. Depot location, handling capability and return arrangements all affect how efficiently equipment can move between customers and ports. This development is a regional infrastructure update, not an announcement of ContainerDesk Pro capacity or a commercial partnership.
