Work was undertaken in 2011 to add to berths of total 550 meters with a depth of 13.5 meters. The old berths will also be dug out to attain 13.5 meters.

For handling and manual labour SOBEMAP is a state-owned company that maintains monopoly for conventional handling, while Maersk and Bolloré competes in container handling through their subsidiaries COMAN and SMTC. A complete list of port partners, transit companies and more can be consulted at http://www.portdecotonou.com/index.php? option=com_content&view=article&id=32&Itemid=53&showall=1, where contact details are also provided. 4.4 Niger Port and Waterways Company Contact List Port Performance The port of Cotonou handled 4.1 million metric tonnes in 2006 - import, export and transit. This grew to 6.9 million tonnes in 2009 and have stabilised around that level since. That represents a growth of nearly 70% over 2006, and every year since has seen volumes far above planned or expected volumes. As a consequence port congestion has made its presence felt. The number of vessels calling the port declined, but the vessels calling were larger than before. The same period saw an increase of waiting time for container vessels increase from an average of 16 days to 34.6 days; with a peak of 67.6 days in 2008. The target set by the port is at four days and as such leaves ample room for improvements. On the other hand handling of container vessels have become more efficient and has decreased from two days average to 1.31 days in 2011, with a target set at one day. Average waiting time for trucks in 2011 was at 27.55 hours against a target of seven hours. The indicator has nevertheless seen steady improvements since 2008 when it was at 104 hours. Custom transit takes on average 2.93 days against a target set by the port of one day; this indicator has seen little evolution. The port of Cotonou has been criticised for being under too much political influence which is recognised be the Association for the Promotion of the port of Cotonou (APPC) who lists the conflict between port and city as the major challenge going forward. The port of Cotonou has received funds from the Millenium Challenge Corporation to improve the infrastructure of the port. This work was undertaken in 2011 and is to be completed by 2013. This should allow the port to operate more effectively in the coming years. A layout of how the port will look can be seen further below.

Container handling charges are found in the table below and updates can be obtained from COMAN and SMTC.

In practice two to three working days are to be expected. Clearance costs can be up to $750, depending on the size of container, number of trucks and where the cargo has shipped from. Customs officials, at least until recently, have been no strangers to corruption so costs may exceed this amount. In practice most UN agencies and NGO rely on freight forwarders to handle customs clearance. A custom clearance manual for the port of Cotonou (in french), including transit procedure, can be found at http://www.finances.bj/IMG/pdf /manuel_de_procedure_version_corrigee.pdf.
