Abstract EN:

Development of transmaritime multimodal transport is an absolute necessity wich even slightly industrialized countries can't escape. But regarding congo, where more than ninety five per cent of the tonnage of the international trade is transported by sea, the expansion of this new technological and organizational form of carrying goods is restricted by various facts: deficiency of the national policy regarding maritime transport, unsuitable port installations and equipment, heaviness of administrative formalities, lack of coordination between various means of transport, different regulation depending on the mean of transport, inadequacy of the national economic potential. . . Consequently, the congolese corridor will have to adapt to modern form of transport and in particluar to transmaritime multimodalism for the servicing of both national territory and neighbouring countries of the subregion (mainly central african republic and south-east of cameroon). Moreover, the effective organization of transports across the borders should make thr transcongolese chain more competitive in the face of the transcameroonian route.

Abstract FR:

Le developpement du transport multimodal transmaritime est une necessite a laquelle meme les pays faiblement industrialises ne peuvent se soustraitre. Pour le congo, dont plus de quatre vingt quinze pour cent du tonnage des echanges internationaux empruntent la voie maritime, l'expansion de cette nouvelle donnee technologique et organisationnelle du transport des marchandises est limitee par plusieurs facteurs: politique nationale de transport maritime deficiente, inadaptation des installations et equipements portuaires, lourdeur des formalites administratives, mauvaise coordination des divers modes de transport, regime juridique segmente, potentiel economique national insuffisant. . . Par consequent, qu'il s'agisse de la desserte du territoire national ou des pays voisins de la sous-region (principalement de la republique centrafricaine et le sud-est du cameroun). L'espace-transit congolais devra s'adapter aux formes modernes du transport notamment au multimodalisme transmaritime. L'organisation efficace des transports transfontaliers devra en outre permettre a la chaine transcongolaise d'etre plus competitive face a la concurrence de la voie transcamerounaise.
