The Government of President Patrice TALON is implementing structuring projects to modernize the Autonomous Port of Cotonou. These projects include the construction of the Maritime Affairs Center, the work of which is very visible and very advanced. Located opposite the Autonomous Port of Cotonou on the Boulevard de la Marina, the Center under construction aims to "provide more space to improve the fluidity of port operations, bring together all the key players in the port platform and create a more efficient working environment for all stakeholders". It should ultimately make it possible to strengthen the speed of operations and improve the efficiency of stakeholders in the port chain. The Center includes "2 R+7 type buildings, one R+5 type building, a R+3 car park with approximately 1,600 spaces and a parking area with nearly 300 spaces for motorcycles". Through this project, the Government intends not only to stimulate economic growth but also to improve the quality of maritime services, while making Cotonou an essential regional hub for maritime affairs.
