Profile summary

AMPB is Burundi's current statutory maritime and port authority, created in March 2023 after the government decided to replace AMPF and separate rail regulation. At Bujumbura Port it is the current public owner-side counterparty for port governance, operating interfaces, asset acceptance and resilience planning; older project records still name AMPF.

Source basis

Decree No 100/118 establishes AMPB as Burundi's current maritime and port authority. The October 2022 Council record explains that AMPB replaced AMPF so rail regulation could remain with the separate rail authority; older AfDB project records retain the former name and remain historical evidence for the contract. AfDB and ministry records place the authority on the owner side of the active dike, dredging, quay, marine-dock, road and equipment programme, while KCC remains the named works contractor. UNDP's March 2026 workshop adds a resilience-planning role after Lake Tanganyika flood damage; it is not evidence of new construction progress. The profile photograph shows that exact engineering review and the Bujumbura Port plan displayed there.
