Port Delivery
Cotonou Terminal 5 owner page reports 69% physical progress
Concrete Layer Innovations; exact Terminal 5 construction view
Port Autonome de Cotonou's live Terminal 5 page reports 69% physical progress and 72% overall progress. The same page still gives a 2021-2024 delivery period, so the percentages show unfinished construction but do not supply a current finish date. CHEC's marine scope includes a 350-metre breakwater extension and an 891-metre revetment protected by ACCROPODE II units.
What changed
PAC controls the 69% physical and 72% overall figures, the 20-hectare bulk-terminal description, the CFAF 98.3 billion excluding-tax cost and the old 2021-2024 period. CLI identifies CHEC, the breakwater and revetment geometry, 22,000 cubic metres of ACCROPODE II units and field installation. AfDB's live record remains Ongoing to 12 February 2028. PAC's environmental report treats the north-quay and basin expansion as a separate project; its 1,400-metre quay and -15-metre dredging basis are not Terminal 5 quantities.
Why it matters
Terminal 5 is not just a storage yard. Its remaining delivery runs through reclamation protection, nautical access, dredging, berth systems and marine acceptance. A stale date beside a current progress percentage makes supplier timing and completion risk impossible to read without separating each of those gates.
Decision read
Construction is visible, but the finish date is not
The public record establishes active construction and an identifiable marine package. It does not date the current percentages, publish the remaining work schedule, reconcile the original 2024 finish or disclose accepted dredging, hydrography, reclamation, berth or opening evidence. Keep Terminal 5 at construction until PAC provides a dated completion and handover record.
Next watchpoints
