Gabon has obtained a loan of US$366.1 million from the African Development
Bank [ADB] to finance a road building programme, one of the biggest projects
the bank has supported in recent years. The project aims to improve road
links to neighbouring countries and raise the proportion of asphalted roads
in Gabon to 30% by 2012 from 11% last year. The loan will cover 90% of the
programme, with Gabon's government paying the rest. [Reuters 25/10/07]

Portek Bags Gabon Terminal Contracts
Terminal operator Portek International [www.portek.com], a Singapore-listed
company, has won a 25-year concession to operate the multipurpose ports
of Owendo, in Gabon’s capital Libreville and Port Gentil, 160km south.
Portek won the contracts through a tender bidding against other international
terminal operators. Portek currently has terminals in Algeria, Malta and
Indonesia, in addition to its crane sales and leasing business.
Through its subsidiary Gabon Port Management [GPM] the expected investment
is reported to be US$4 million with a further US$2million for cashflow. GPM
will derive its revenue through fees charged on cargo handled at these two
ports and other services rendered to port users. GPM will be responsible for
the management, maintenance and investment in infrastructure of both ports.
