We have reviewed the attached letter f,]o 6190 dated December 22, 1972from the Minister of Planning regarding the financing of the above mentionedproject.
1. The proposal does not take into account disbursements already madeunder Category I at the agreed percentage of 65 5.
2. It is suggested that disbursements under Category I of the proceedsof the Credit be set at 46 % of total expenditures; financing underCategories II and III would remain at 100 % of foreign expenditures (infact 100 x of total expenditures). Calculations are in the Annex.
3. Schedule I of the Credit Agreement should be amended as shownin the Annex.
4. No difficulty is expected regarding the financing from NPA'sown funds of that part of the project (US 975,000 equivalent) notcovered from IDA financing.

OFFICE MEMO NDUMTO: Mr. T. Oursin DATE: October 30, 1972
FROM: J. De Gryse 07 _
SUBJECT: CAMEROON: Cdit 229-CM - First Douala Port ProjectCost Estimates
1. By letter 2975 dated June 28, 1972, the Government requested the
Association to consider re-appraising the above mentionned project because
of a cost overrun totalling about CFAF 100 million ($400,000).
2. Messrs. Grant Duff and Parthasarati's supervision report dated
July 17, 1972, mentionned in para 4.07 that the estimated total projectcost exceeds the appraisal forecast by only CFAF 5 million but that theforeign exchange content has increased to an estimated $1.8 million
equivalent, as compared with the credit amount of $1.5 million.
3. By letter dated August 1, 1972, Mr. Chaufournier called the
attention of Dr. Maikano Abdoulaye to the discrepancy between the cost
overrun of CFAF 100 million claimed by the Government and that of CFAF
5 million arrived at by the supervision mission, and requested to beinformed of the bases used for government evaluation.
4. The attached letter 51k of October 19, 1972, from Dr. Abdoulaye
provides the information requested which has been reviewed.
5. A distinction must be made between:
a) total project cost overrun which indeed amounts to only about
CFAF 5 million (CFAF 617 million as against CFAF 612 million);and
b) the difference between the forecast IDA contribution resultingfrom agreed percentages as per Schedule 1 of the Credit
Agreement and the amount of credit funds available calculatedat the prevailing exchange rate of 250/1 (as against 278/1during appraisal).
Details of appraisal cost estimates, actual costs, and IDA contri-
bution are in the Annex.
6. Calculations show that for a total project cost of CFAF 647 million,
CFAF 375 million could be covered by Credit 229-CM, leaving CFAF 272 million
to be financed by the National Ports Authority (NPA) or from other sources.
-2-
7. The present position of NPA's "Fonds de Renouvellement" isunknown but there are indications that it is strong enough to financethat part of the project not covered by Credit 229-C1. The matter willbe investigated during the forthcoming pre-appraisal mission in Douala.Heanwhile, I recommend that the Government be informed accordingly.

At a meeting we had with Mr. Steckhan on August 9, Mr. Steckhanreported that on his recent mission to Cameroon in July, the newMinister of Planning and the Director of Planning had assuited him thatwork on the first Douala Port Project would be speeded up.' The Directorseems to have assured Mr. Steckhan that copies of all the signed contractsrelating to the project would soon be forwarded to the Bank.
In view of the above assurance, Mr. Steckhan felt that it would beimpolite at this stage to tell the Minister, as proposed in a draft letterPO't t' ) i fYn-n "I n r-, - + In r +, + liid to C Ap- i4 ,&he

A letter has been sent to Government on the other poipts in our,draft letter.

FROM: $. Grant Duff and M.S. Parthasarathi
SUBJECT: CAMEROON: Supervision of Credit 229-CMReview of Progress of Feasibility Study
for Second Port ProjectFull Report
According to terms of reference dated June 1, 1972 the missionvisited Paris (June 5 to 8) and Douala and Yaounde in Cameroon (June 8 tolh) to supervise the progress of works under Credit 229-CM and to reviewprogress in the preparation of the feasibility stuctr for a second portproject. Mr. De Gryse joined the mission in Douala from June 8 through 11.A list of persons met is given in Annex 1.
Project Data
1.01 Credit 229-CM - Project Data
Amount of Credit US$1,500,000Amount disbursed nilAmount in awarded contracts U$7,400Date of Credit Agreement January 14, 1971Effective Date April 14, 1971Closing Date June 30, 1973Date of last supervision mission September 1971Rate of Exchange 1 CFAF = US#0.4l6Fiscal Year July 1 to June 30
1.02 The project comprises:
(a) construction of a deep-water quay at Bonaberi, Douala, forhandling minerals and industrial goods;
(b) improvement of log handling facilities at Douala by con-struction of a shallow draft quay, provision of mooringsfor timber-loading ships and paving of the log stackingarea;
(c) provision of a small cutter suction dredger; and
(d) engineering consulting services in connection with the aboveitems and services of a port costing adviser.
Mr. A. J. Carmichael - 2 - July 17, 1972
1.03 Special covenants provide that Government will:
(a) appoint a Po:t Commander;
(b) delegate to the Port DLrector powers for efficient portmanagement;
(c) institute rules for the use of port storage facilities;
(d) consult the Association on important changes in portorganization;
(e) operate the dredger "Garoua" with increased efficiency;
(f) accumulate reserves for future capital expenditure; and
(g) establish a company to operate the log depot under aconcession.
Summary
2.01 Progress on the project is unsatisfactory but the Ministry ofPlanning indicated that Tender Board approval (and signature) of three con-tracts for civil works and equipment procurement was likely before the endof June 1972 (para. 4.01).
2.02 Progress in fulfilling the special covenants of the Credit hasbeen slow. However, a Government decree establishing new powers and pro-viding for a new organizational structure for the National Ports Authorityhas recently been promulgated. It is too early to say whether or not theNational Ports Authority will fulfill hopes for improved efficiency in theport (paras. 4.09 and 4.11).
2.03 The eng eering volume of a three-volume report by consultantsOCCR/SOGREAH/DSBI-. on the feasibility study for a second port project hasbeen submitted to the Bank; the economic and financial volumes are awaited.Additional information is required before appraisal (paras. 8.10 and 8.11).
2.04 Proposals for dredging the entrance channel in the feasibilityreport by consultants OCCRV/SOGREAH/DSBI differ from interim proposals sub-mitted by SOGREAH (para. 5.06).
2.05 The mission recommends that, assuming reasonable progress is madeon Credit 229-CM and subject to a detailed review of the consultants'report, consideration be given to appraisal of the second port project aboutthe last quarter of 1972 (para. 5.14).
1/ OCCR, France (Organisation, Control, Conception, Realisation)SOGREAH, France (Societe Grenobloise d'Etudes et Applications
3.01 Government has been requested by letter (Annex 2) to:
(a) ensure that tenders for work under Credit 229-CM approvedby the Association are not delayed unnecessarily by Govern-ment's procedures for contract approval and signature;
(b) instruct the consultants to send to the Association copiesof the remaining volumes of the draft feasibility reporton a second port project; and
(c) confirm that SOGREAH approves the dredging proposals in thesecond port feasibility study and to explain why they differfrom SOGREAH's interim report.
3.02 The next supervision mission should be scheduled to coincide with theappraisal mission for the second port project. This is not expected to be be-fore December 1972 when it is hoped the full feasibility study would have beenreceived and reviewed in the Bank, major issues resolved with Government, suf-ficient progress made in implementing the decree establishing a National PortAuthority (NPA) and reasonable evidence that NPA has commenced to exercise itspowers (para. 4.09).
Execution of the Project
4.01 There has been delay in obtaining Government's approval and sig-nature to a number of contracts for which the lowest evaluated bids havealready been approved by the Association. In addition to acceptance bythe Port Authority, bids must also be approved by the Ministry of Planningand the National Tender Board. The mission urged the Ministry of Planningto ensure that signature of contracts was not delayed by inter-departmentalcorrespondence and repeated scrutiny of bids.
4.02 Contracts for the following items were scheduled for CentralTender Board approval and signature by Government by the end of June 1972:
(a) mineral quay at Bonaberi;
(b) surfacing at Douala log stacking yard;
(c) procurement of a cutter suction dredger;
(d) consultant services for items (a) and (b) above; and
(e) consultant services for a feasibility study of alter-native log handling sites at Japoma, Manoka and Douala.
4.03 The mission advised the Port Authority and the Ministry of Planningto ensure that contracts for supervisory consultants' services should besigned at least at the same time as the relevant construction/procurementcontracts. A contract for supervision of the construction of a cutter suc-tion dredger has been signed. A list of contracts, consultants and lowestevaluated bidders is given in Annex 3.
Mr. A. J. Carmichael - 4 - July 17, 1972
4.04 A revised construction program, assuming Government approval tocontracts during June 1972 as scheduled, is shown in Annex 4. This programshows completion of the physical project by May 1973. The present closingdate of the Credit is June 30, 1973; this may have to be extended.
4.05 An accounting and costing adviser from consultants CEGOS-BCEDMhas started work at Douala, although the contract between that company andthe Ports Authority has not yet been signed. The contract provides forcompletion of the services by June 30, 1973, and covers the preparation ofthe Balance Sheet (including valuation of assets), recommendations for anaccounting plan and setting up of a costing system.
4.06 A study of the comparative merits of Douala and Manoka/Japoma assites for log handling operations has been completed by consultants OCCR/SOGRFAH/DSBI, although the contract has still to be signed. Douala is thepreferred location and Government has accepted this recommendation.
Cost Estimates
4.07 A revised estimate of cost of civil contracts, procurement of adredger and consultants' services is given in Annex 3. The estimated totalcost exceeds the appraisal forecast by approximately CFAF 5.0 million(approximately US$21,000 equivalent) largely because of the increased costof the dredger and an increase in the cost of steel sheet piling used inquay construction. The estimated foreign currency requirement is nowapproximately US$1.8 million whereas the amount of Credit 229-CM is US$1.5million. The Port Director assured the mission that the National PortsAuthority could meet the additional cost. A revised schedule of disburse-ments is given in Annex 5.
Progress in Implementing Credit Conditions
4.08 Port Commander. A Cameroonese captain with overseas experiencehas been selected for the post. His formal appointment is expected shortly.
4.09 National Ports Authority. Government has issued a decree datedApril 17, 1972 establishing a National Ports Authority, but its implemen-tation would require a series of steps in the next several months. A letterwill be sent to Government to obtain their program for implementing thedecree and to ascertain the progress of the Ports Authority in exercisirgits powers. This may affect the timing of an appraisal mission for thesecond port project.
4.10 Storage Facilities. The Ports Authority will exercise its powersunder the Government decree to establish franchises for use of port shedsfor storage. Iong-term storage within the ports will be subject to penalty.The next supervision mission should review this matter.
4.11 Organizational Changes. A new organizational structure for thePorts Authority, designed to enable it to fulfill its functions under therecent Government decree, is being submitted by the Authority to the Ministryof Planning. The next mission should review the performance of the PortsAuthority in the exercise of its powers under the decree.
Mr. A. J. Carmichael - 5 - July 17, 1972
IDredging
4.12 The Ports Authority's cutter suction 500 m3 hopper dredger"Garoua" is now at Lubeck, Germany, undergoing repair, the fitting of stab-ilizers and other modifications. Completion of this work is ewpected bySeptember 1972 and the vessel should resume operations by November 1972.
4.13 The contract for operation of the "Garoua" by a local entre-preneur has been cancelled. The dredger was formerly operated on a singleshift, and payment was made on a time basis; unit dredging costs were high.As required under Credit 229-CM, proposals for a new contract for oper-ation of the dredger have been invited from two French and two Dutchdredging contractors. These will shortly be considered by the PortsAuthority and a new contract submitted to the Bank for approval. The newcontract will provide for payment to the dredging contractor on the basisof quantities.
Traffic and Finances
4.14 Douala handled a total of 1,573,000 tons during the 10 monthsJuly 1971-April 1972, compared with 1,820,000 tons during the previous year.Log exports were 228,000 tons during the 10 months canpared with 294,000tons in the previous year. The appraisal forecasts for 1971 and 1972 andthe actuals for July 1971-April 1972 are as follows ('000 tons):

Log exports are said to be below forecast levels due, among other things,to the railway's limited capacity to handle such traffic. This problemshould be resolved when the railway acquires additional rolling stock,
4.15 The Ports Authority's fiscal year ends on June 30, and financialdata for the three preceding quarters is still incomplete.
Log Depot
4.16 A company has been established to operate the log depots at allCameroon ports and is operating at Ibuala. However, Government has not yetgranted a formal concession to this company. The mission asked for a copyof the draft agreement to be sent to the Bank for approval.
Mr. A. J. Carmichael - 6 - July 17, 1972
Other Matters
4.17 The Ports Authority is undertaking a program of repair to quayaprons and access roads at the Port. The mission repeated advice given byprevious missions, that considerable repair work has yet to be completed.
4.18 The mission does not anticipate any difficulties regarding theport and the railway reaching agreement on rail track maintenance withinthe port area at Douala.
Feasibility Study for Second Port Project
5.01 A three-volume feasibility study for a Second Port Project hasjust been completed by a consortium of consultants - OCCR (economics),SOGREAH (hydraulic studies), and DSBI (engineering). An advance incompleteEnglish version of the engineering volume was handed to the mission by OCCRin Paris and is still under study. The report, in French, was submittedto the Ports Authority only a week earlier. The whole report, in English,is expected to be in the Bank by early July (the engineering volume hassince been received).
5.02 The engineering volume recommends a project to meet traffic fore-casts to 1975 comprising four deep-water berths with 10.5 m depth along-side at Mean Low Water Spring (MLWS) at a new site downstream of the presentgeneral cargo berths at Douala. It is unlikely that the project could becompleted before 1976 and the number of berths required in relation totraffic forecasts will require careful study. One of the berths would becapable of handling containerized cargo. The project also includes afishing harbor with quays having a depth alongside of 4.50 m at MLWS, abasin for log handling with rail served stacking area, and moorings fortimber carrying vessels; together with ancillary works. The new berthswould be approached by an entrance channel dredged to 9.0 m below MLWS, withthe outer Suellaba bar dredged to a depth of 10.5 m below MLWS. An innerdeep-water basin is also proposed to be dredged to 10.5 m; however thiswould require consideration in view of the entrance channel depth.
5.03 The report provides a master plan for the development of 11 deep-water berths in three development phases to cater for traffic projectionsto 1985.
5.04 The consultants estimate the cost of the project at CFAF 13.0billion (US$54 million equivalent), with a foreign exchange content ofapproximately CFAF 10.4 billion (US$43.3 million equivalent); details aregiven in Annex 3.. The estimated cost of dredging the approach channel andbasin amounts to almost 40% of total project cost.
5.05 The interim report by SOGREAH on the feasibility of dredging theentrance channel to Douala assumed that dredging would be undertaken in twostages, first to a depth of 6.8 m below MLWS (maximum draft 8.5 m) and
Mr. A. J. Carmichael - 7 - July 17, 1972
subsequently to a depth of 10.0 m below MLWS. Second stage dredging wasto be undertaken only if observations of the dredged channel indicated thatthe required maintenance dredging was within acceptable limits.
5.06 The consultants' engineering volume recommends channel dredgingto a depth of 7.0 m below MLWS (for drafts of 8.5 m) by about 1975, andfinal dredging to a depth of 9.0 m below MLWS in the channel and 10.5 m atthe Suellaba bar (for drafts of 10.5 m); dredging of the two stages isrecommended as a continuous operation. The mission was unable to ascertainwhether SOGREAH specifically endorses these new proposals and the reasonsfor the change from the interim report. The Government has been asked toconfirm that SOGREAH endorses the proposals in the feasibility report.
5.07 Maintenance dredging is at present required in the entrancechannel in three principal zones, covering a total length of approximately8 km, in order to maintain a depth of 5.0 m at MLWS. The channel depthrecommended in the report would entail ca ital dredging over approximately20 km of channel of about 16.5 million i-'; channel maintenance dredging of1.5 million m3 per annum is envisaged. Capital dredging of the basin in-volves approximately 7 million m3 .
5.08 The "Garoua" dredged 228,000 m3 in 1970-71 during the nine monthsof the year when it was available for use at Douala on single shift working.Although the output could be raised considerably with more intensive use,the adequacy of this dredger for maintenance of the proposed new channelwould depend, inter alia, on the location of deposit grounds for dredgedmaterial and the time spent in travel to these deposit grounds.
5.09 Sub-soil investigations at the site of the proposed new berthshave not yet been done and are to be undertaken by contract with the PublicWorks Department. Surface samples have been collected by the Ports' Hrdro-grapher on the proposed channel alignment indicating a variation in bedmaterial from coarse sand to silty clay. The National Ports Authorityintends to order equipment to carry out probes at the site of the proposedchannel to a procedure to be recommended by OCCR/SOGREAH/DSBI. This questionof sub-soil investigation requires urgent clarification.
5.10 The mission informed DSBI that, before appraisal of the secondport project, it would be necessary for the Bank to be given additionalinformation including:
(a) approximate quantities and unit prices for major items ofconstruction;
(b) estimated foreign exchange for each contract;
(c) outline plans and sections for the project includingdredging;
(d) descriptive information on the type and site of proposedsheds, paved areas etc., and an explanation of therecommended cargo-handling procedure;
Mr. A. J. Carmichael - 8 - July 17, 1972
(e) a statement of the sub-soil investigations both under-taken and proposed at the site of the berths and in thechannel;
(f) confirmation by SOGREAH of the recommended dredgingprogram and depths in the feasibility report;
(g) a construction bar chart for the principal contracts;
(h) a note on the anticipated settlement of reclamationbehind new berths; and
(i) recommendations on the location of deposit grounds fordredged material.
5.11 The mission also informed OCCR that the cost estimates in thereport gave insufficient detail for Bank appraisal and, in particular, theitems covering miscellaneous, contingencies, price escalation and worksupervision should be separated into component parts and the estimatedannual price escalation for items in the project should be stated.
5.12 The foregoing comments to consultants on the draft report shouldbe included in the Bank's comments to Government on the final report.
5.13 The foreign exchange content of the proposed project, provision-ally estimated by the consultants at US$43.3 million equivalent, is con-siderably more than the amount of credit allocated by the Association(US$15 million). There was insufficient information available for themission to determine whether the consultants' estimates were reasonable,but the amount allocated to physical contingencies and price escalationappears inadequate. The Government indicated that the fishing harbor pro-posals were inadequate and the mission considers that provision for futureexpansion of this facility may be warranted. Such expansion will result inincreases in total project cost and the foreign exchange component.
5.14 The mission recommends that, assuming reasonable progress hasbeen made in the physical execution of works under Credit 229-CM, and thequestion of NPA's powers, and subject to a detailed review of the consul-tants' report, consideration be given to appraisal of the second portproject by about the last quarter of 1972. However, in view of the infor-mation still to be supplied this may prove optimistic.

Dear Mr. Minister:
CAMEXON: Credit 229-CMFeasibility Study for
Second Port Project
We would like to thank members of your Government and of the NationalPorts Authority for the courtesy and hospitality extended to Messrs. DeGryse, Grant Duff and Parthasarathi during their recent mission to Cameroon.
The substance of their findings are given below:
Credit 229-CM
The mission expressed concern at the delay in the signing of contractsfor civil works, for procurement of a dredger and for consultant services.The mission was assured by Mr. Bello of the Ministry of Planning that futurecontracts would not be subject to long delays. We hope that agreement onoutstanding problems concerning the contract with consultants for super-vision of construction would soon be reached, and that the Tender Board hasapproved the other contracts under the project)submitted to it for itsapproval. The Bank expects to receive a copy of each of the signed contractsas soon as possible.
Feasibility Study for Second Port Project
The mission was given an incomplete copy in English of Report No. 10by consultants OCCR. We have since received a copy of this report in bothFrench and English text from your consultants, and will forward to you ourcoments as soon as possible.
Since there is an apparent discrepancy in the recommendations on dredg-ing between this report and SOGREAH's interim report (No. 9), we would likeSOGREAH specifically to endorse the proposal in the feasibility study todredge the channel to the final recommended depth in a continuous operationand the recommended depths in the channel and bar, and confirm the esti-mated quantity of maintenance dredging.
We look forxard to receiving the views of your Government on the con-sultant's Report No. 10, together with copies of Report Nos. 11 and 12 (onthe economic and financial evaluation of the project) as soon as these areavailable.
Very truly yours,

for Second Port Project
With reference to your queries and those of Mr. Jayeoox on theBack-to-Office report.
(1) Award of Tenders
The time required to effect signature of contracts afterapproval by the Bank is largely a matter of bureaucraticdelay and insistence by the National Tender Board of closescrutiny of the bids. The mission emphasised to the Ministryof Planning the need for early approval, and also the need tosecure Tender Board agreement to tender documents beforetender submission.
(2) Appraisa1 of Second Fort Project
Although progress in institutional changes has been slow themission believes that by the end of 1972 the significantinstitutional changes under Credit 229-CH will have beencarried out.
We have budgeted to appraise in January 1973 rather than inthe last quarter of 1972 as suggested by the mission.

TO: Mr. A. J. Carmic ael DATE: June 22, 1972
FROM: . Grant Duff and M. S. Parthasarathi
SUBJECT: CAMEROON: Supervision of Credit 229-CMReview of Progress of Feasibility Studyfor Second Port ProjectBack-to-Office Report
1. According to terms of reference of June 1, 1972, the mission
visited Paris (June 5 to 8) and the Cameroon (June 8 to 14) to supervisethe progress of works under Credit 229-CM and to review progress in thepreparation of the feasibility study for a Second Port Project. Mr. DeGryse joined the mission in Douala from June 8 through 11.
Supervision of Credit 229-CM
2. Progress on the contracts for civil works and in the procurementof equipment under Credit 229-CM is unsatisfactory. The principal contracts,which are listed below, have not yet been signed:
(a) construction of the mineral quay at Bonaberi;
(b) construction of the timber quay at Douala;
(c) paving the timber yard at Douala; and
(d) supply of a small, cutter-suction dredger.
Approval to the award of tenders for these contracts has been given by theBank and to contracts (a), (c) and (d) by the Ports Department, but nonehas yet received the approval of the Ministry of Planning and thereafter ofthe National Tender Board.
3. The contract with accounting consultants has not yet been signedand the contract with engineering consultants has been returned by theTender Board for revisions to conform to legal requirements.
4. The mission obtained an assurance from the Ministry of Planningthat final approval of contracts for items (a), (c) and (d) above would beconsidered by the Tender Board on June 15, 1972. If the Board approves thesecontracts, and agreement could soon be concluded with the engineering con-sultants, all project works could be completed by May-June 1973. For futurecontracts, the Ministry of Planning would endeavour to minimize inter-departmental delays in the approval process.
Mr. A. J. Carmichael - 2 - June 22, 1972
5. Although progress in implementing the institutional changes re-quired under Credit 229-CM has been slow, the decree setting up a NationalPorts Authority was signed on April 17, 1972; its implementation wouldrequire various steps in the next few months.
Feasibility Study for Second Port Project
6. A three-volume feasibility study for a Second Port Project hasjust been completed by a consortium of consultants - 9CCR (economics),SOGREAH (hydraulic studies), and DSBI (engineering) .X/ An advance incompleteEnglish version of the engineering volume was handed to the mission by OCCRin Paris. The report, in French, was submitted to the Director of Ports andNavigable Waterways only a week earlier. The whole report, in English, isexpected to be in the Bank by the end of June.
7. The feasibility report envisages the construction of four deep-water berths with a depth of 10.5 m alongside at a new site at Douala, alog-handling quay and basin and ancillary works, together with extensivedredging of a 30 km approach channel to 10.5 m below NIWS. The cost ofthe proposed project at 1972 prices, excluding taxes and duties, is esti-mated by the consultants at about CFAF 13 billion (US$5h million equivalent),of which about CFAF 10.4 billion (US$43.3 million equivalent) would be inforeign currency. Capital dredging, amounting to almost 40% of total projectcost, is to be undertaken to a depth of 8.5 m by 1975 and to 10.5 m by 1978.The report provides a master plan for phased development (up to 1985) of11 deep-water berths.
8. The mission informed the Port Director and consultants DSBI thatsome additional information was required to justify the project and inparticular the assumptions as to both capital and maintenance dredging. Theinterim SOGREAH report recommended initial dredging to a depth of 6.8 m andfurther dredging to 9.8 m if warranted by observations of the channel afterthe first stage.
Action Re commended
9. The mission recommends that, subject to a detailed review of theconsultants' report (expected in a few days) identifying a satisfactoryproject, consideration be given to appraisal of the project about the lastquarter of 1972.
10. The Government should be requested to:
(i) ensure that tenders approved by the Bank are notdelayed unnecessarily by Governmental procedures forcontract approval and signature;
(ii) instruct the consultants to send to the Bank copiesof the draft feasibility report on a second portproject as soon as possible; and

.JT Discussions with FED/BEI in WashingtonsUBJECT. --
On Tesday, M r 1, met with Mr. Drechsler, Director of
BEI Mr PaenLoa ofice ofBET and Mr. K~dderitzsch, Division
Chief of FED. Messrs. Gillette and Storch attended part of the
meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ongoing and
future operations of common interest to our three institutions in
Equatorial Africa.
Congo
a) R Mr. Kdderitzsch confirmed that the FED -
would require six weeks from the receipt of the final feasibility
study of TECSULT before being able to attend a donors coordination
meeting which the Congo intends to call to canvas support for
finan-
cing the construction of the realignment. Since, according to my
information, the study would not be ready until early June, a meeting
was not likely before mid-July.
b) River Transport? Mr. Kbdderitzsch confirmed that FED
has just approveda Us O million grant to CAR and Congo for a river
transport maintenance project. He also confirmed that the invest-
ment was complementary to any purchase of river transport equipment
(barges and push-boats) financing for which had been requested by
Congo from IDA. Mr. Kdderitzsch handed me a copy of the FED/BET
financing proposal for the river maintenance project and I pointed
out to him that the FED/BEI forecasts for river traffic until 1975
were well below ATC's and our own forecasts. I subsequently wrote
a letter to BEI asking for clarification.
c) General: Mr. Kdderitzsch left, on a confidential
basis, FDs )financing program for the Congo which shows a total
program of US$25 million for the 3rd FED. It also shows that FED
has already been requested to finance US$50 million worth of invest-
ment during that period. He confirmed that FED Director General
Krohn and he would go to the Congo in the week of May
22 to determine
priorities in the Congo and to bring the financing requests
in line
with their US$25 million financing program.
-2-
Cameroon
a) Douala Port: Mr. Drechsler and Mr. Kdderitzsch agreed
with the needto phase port investments, as suggested by the Bank.
b) Railways: BEI is interested in the results of the
ongoing study of the realignment of the Yaounde-Douala railway being
financed under ourfir t railway loan. Mr. Drechsler said that he
would not exclude a participation by EE- in the financing of the realign-
ment. Mr. Kdderitzpch confirmed that FED was fully committed for the
3rd FED as far as Cameroon was concerned. However, Government priorities
could change and therefore FEDs participation in financing the railway
realignment, if the Government so decided, was not completely
excluded.
c) Banana Reconversion: FAC and the International Coffee
Organization have alreony appraised a possible banana reconversion
project. FED would like to finance a large banana project, but if it
is more than 500 ha then the International Coffee Organization will
refuse to participate.
d) Munou - Gidjibe Road: FED has allocated approximately
$800,000 for the necessary studies of this oundoufNtgaounder road (it
actually intersects the Trans-Cameroon route North of Ntgaoundere at
Gidjibe).
e) Livestock: The center at Wum is not working out well and
FED has just about given up hope for it. Mr. K~idderitzsch indicated that
FED would be interested in joint or parallel financing on a livestock
project and hopes tEBank will keep FED informed on the preparation of our
project.
Gabon
Railway roject: Mr. Drechsler said that BEI's Vice
President Boemstra had paid a visit to Gabon explaining the BEI position,
especially with respect to the need to restructure SOMIFER. Mr.
Kedderitzsch reported that Direction G6n6rale 17 (fInvestissements et
Prts") which disposes of CECA funds had approached Mr. Ferrandi and
expressed an interest in participating in the financing. Mr. Drechsler
explained that the CECA funds could only be used for mining ventures.
Mr. KUdderitzsch promised to keep us informed.
Chad
Cotton Project: Mr. Kbdderitzsch confirmed that the FED
committee had approved the FED financing for the cotton modernization
program with the priviso that Chad report annually about progress
of
the program. Apparently, t Committee had some misgivings with respect
to the program as conceived. I reported on the status of the
preparation
of a cotton road project for IDA financing.
-3-
C.A.R.
a) Cotton Development: Mr. KUdderitzsch stated that FEDhad approved the first tranche of the cotton development project(1972/73) and approval for a second tranche (1973/74 - 1974/75) wasexpected in July. Both tranches would have large technical assistancecomponents. FED had refused to give general approval for a 5-yearcotton program and preferred to proceed with approvals of annualtranches. Mr. KUdderitzsch promised to send us the appraisal reportprepared by Mr. Wintringer.
b) General: Mr. K~dderitzsch explained that the C.A.R.financing program under the 1st FED amounted to US$18 million, underthe 2nd FED to US$25 million and under the 3rd FED would probablyamount to UZ$25 million.
Mr. S. Ngann YonnDirector of PortsBP 4020DoualaCameroon
Dear Mr. Ngannt
CAMEWON: Credit 229-OK - Douala Port ProjectAppointment of Accounting Consultants
We thank you for your letter ref. 0-734 MINT/PYN dated March 21, 1972concerning the appointment of accounting consultants.
The terms of reference enclosed with your letter indicate the needfor considerably more expertise than any individual is likely to possess.Consequently, we consider that it is in your beat interests to appoint aconsulting firm rather than an indvidual accountant to undertake theassignment. We therefore cabled you on April 27 as follows:
"REURLET MARCH 21 BANK CONSIDERS CEGOS INIORATIQUE MORE SUITABLETHAN M GQNIXDMT FR ACCOUNTING CONSULTANCY ASSIGNMENT AS AS8GNMENTUNDER PROPOSED TERMS OF REFERENCE REQUIRES EXENSIVE E(ERrISEBEYOND THE CAPACITY OF ONE INDIVIDUAL S7P LETTER FOLLOWS"
Inevitably the cost of a small team of experts will be greater thanthe fee proposed by Mr. Gondouin. However, better and speedier resultscan be expected. An additional benefit will be the prompt availability ofother personnel should any of the team be indisposed or be found inadequateto the task assigned to them.
We note that the terms of reference are considerably more extensivethan those envisaged in 1970 when the credit was negotiated. The additionalwork is, however, justified in view of progress being made to shortlyestablish an autonomous port authority. We would suggest that, in the termsof reference relating to the revision of rates and charges, reference bemade to sections 4.06, 4.07 and 4.08 of the Credit Agreement which specifythe current financial targets of the ports.
We would have D mobjection to you appointing CMOO8-INM(ATIQUE toundertake the assigment as the firm has the required capacity and reputa-tion, subject to the need for clarification of several points before acontract is signed. We would suggest that CRIOS-I&FORATIQUE be asked to:
Mr. S. Ngann Yonn - 2 - May 3, 1972
(a) substantially reduce the quoted six-month period foran engineer to prepare a fixed asset inventory. (Thisshould be possible by providing him with assistancefrom the Ports Direcotrate engineering staff);
(b) provide a bar chart showing the relative time phasing ofthe various tasks to be carried out; and
(a) furnish the curriculum vitae of the personnel to be assignedto the work.
Will you kindly forward us a copy of (b) and (a) above for our perusalas soon as they are available. This information will also enable us toooment on the fee that the cnsultanta propose to charge and indicate ourfinal decision.
Yours sincerely,

CAMROONt Credit 229-CM - First Douala Port ProjectInstitutional and Operational Changes Required
1. I refer to my memorandum dated February 28, 1972 on the abovesubject.
2. The situation seems to be better than we expected and we havejust received from Yaounde documents related to the execution of the Creditconditions.
(i) Changes in Port Organization. The Ministry of Planning sentus a draft decree for the enforcement of July 4, 1971 Act establishing theNational Port Authority. Copy of a memorandum to files on the subject isattached. However, we do not know whether the draft was cleared withother Ministries, such as Finance, or not. We drafted a letter of commerntswhich was finalizea by Area and a copy is attached.
(ii) Appointment of a Port Commander. This is being done and aOzmeroonese captain, with a Master Mariner degree, who had training in thePort of Marseilles, will be appohnted. Our approval is not necessary.
(iii) Fules for the Use of Storage Facilities. The Ministryreports this is related to the implementation of the Doree organizing thePort Authority. This decree makes the NPA responsible for operations andauthorises it to delegate its operating functions to private companiesunder a franchise. As a consequence, the companies now operating the portmore or less freely will be submitted to such franchises, which will estab-lish rules for use of the storage facilities.
(iv) Operation of the Log Depot. The Board of Directors of thecompany in charge of operations did not approve the concession agreement,although it has been operating the depot for nearly one year. The Author-ity intends to forward the agreement to the Bank after it has been approvedby the Board of Directors. This is not satisfactory and we are dealingwith this matter in the draft letter.
(v) Appointment of a Financial Adviser. We sent a letter ofcomments on July 7, 197g, which was not answered and appears to have beenmisunderstood. The Minister indicates that he is going to write us againon this suibject soon. This also is dealt with in the draft letter.
(vi) 22erating of the Dredger "Garoua" . The letter confirmspara. vi of the February 20, 1972 memo. DLscussions for a new contract arein progress with four campanies (two Dutch and two French).

OFFICE MEMORANDUMTO: Files DATE: March 9, 1972
FROM: J. Grosdidier de Matons ?N'
SUBJECT: CAMERON: Comments on Draft Legislation (in French) on theCameroon National Port Authority
General
1. The Ministry of Plan of Cameroon drafted two decrees organizingthe Cameroon National Port Authority, which was established by Act of June 4,1971. These were transmitted to the Bank for comments; these are given inPart B of this memorandum. Part A is a summary of the Decrees.
A. The Decrees
2. (i) Draft Lbcree "A" deals with the Port Authority's juris-diction, powers, administration and finance.
(ii) Draft Decree "B" establishes the Port Authority asexecuting agency for the Government to administer theseservices which do not come within its jurisdiction as aport authority, such as flood control, coastal defence againsterosion, etc. but are technically related to its activities.These services will be financed separately and their accountswill be kept in an annex budget to the State's, independentfrom the Port Authority's budget.
Powers of the Port Authority
3 The Cameroon National Port Authority (the Authority) will be abody corporate, run on a commercial basis (establissement public a caractereS industriel et commercial). It will be responsible for establishing, devel-oping, maintaining and operating all ports and maritime industrial areas.
4. Port operations will include pilotage, towage, shorehandling,stevedoring, and warehousing. However, port operations may be performed byprivate or mixed companies, under a franchise agreement with the Port Author-ity. This will improve the Port Authority's control over port operators,which is presently lax, especially concerning stevedoring, shorehandling andwarehousing.
5. The Port Authority will be responsible for land/sea traffic andsecurity police.
6. Real estate within the ports limits belongs to the public domain,and will be managed as such by the Port Authority. Other items such asequipment and stores will be the property of the Authority. The differencelies in the conditions of acquiring and disposing of property belonging tothe public domain, which is governed by special rules.
7. Railways operations in ports will be performed by the NationalRailways under a special agreement with the Authority.
Files - 2 - March 9, 1972
Administration of the Authority
8. The Authority will be administered by a Board and a Director General.It will be established in Douala.
9. (i) The Board will have 12 members, including the President who isappointed by the President of the Republic. five members willrepresent various ministries, one member the National Railwaysand five members the users; two of these will be appointed bythe Government and three by the users.
The Board "is the agency for the execution of the general portpolicy as defined by the Government", a statement whichclearly indicates that the Board will not be a body politic,but an agency of the Executive.
(ii) The Board will approve investment programs, budget, account,will fix tariffs "which should cover depreciation, interestcharges and overhead costs", authorize borrowing, decide onstaff's compensation and condition of employment and estab-lish by-laws.
(iii) The Board can delegate powers to an Executive Committee and/orto the Director General, but its most important powers, such asbudget or tariffs approval, cannot be delegated.
(iv) The Minister of Transport will have ten days to veto a Board'sdecision.
10. The Director General and his deputies will be appointed by thePresident of the Republic. The Director General will be the Authority'schief executive, which he will represent legally.
Finance
11. Accounts will be kept in a commercial fona. Each port will haveseparate accounts which will be consolidated in the Authority's accounts.Yearly estimates will be only indicative; they can be modified by the Boardwhich will eventually take the necessary decisions.
12. Tariffs will be established so that the Authority will be able todefray its expenses. The Authority can borrow only for major repairs orinvestments.
13. The budget will be distributed between operating and capital budgets.Should the operating budget be in deficit, that deficit will be made up by aState's subsidy. The State can also participate in the capital budget throughsubsidies or equity capital. A reserve fund is provided for.
Files - 3 - March 9, 1972
l4. Accounts will be controlled by the Board. Independent auditorswill be appointed by a joint decision of the Minister of Transport and theMinister of Finance. Final auditing will be performed by the InspectorateGeneral of the Government.
B. Comments
15. The draft legislation should be modified. The following pointsare significant:
(i) The Authority's mission in economic development should bementioned and insisted upon, in policy-stating formulae suchas "services will be provided at the lowest economic cost",or "no investment will be decided upon without adequatetechnical, economic and financial appraisal". Planning andtraining policy should also be dealt with.
(ii) In addition to the Board and Executive Committee, consul-tative committees of users and government agencies havingport related activities should be established in each portoutside Douala.
(iii) The operating budget should not be in deficit and no Statesubsidy should help this budget. Incidentally, the state-ment that tariffs should cover costs and the statement thata subsidy might be necessary are contradictory.
(iv) The State participation to the capital budget of the Author-ity should only be in equity participation.
(v) There are no stipulations concerning insurance.
(vi) Clarification is necessary on the assets inventory and theintroduction of public domain assets into the Authority'sbalance sheet.
Conclusion
16. (i) A letter is being drafted to the Government;
(ii) A short mission in the field might be necessary to discussproposals of changes in legislation.

TO: Mr. A. J. Carmichae DATE: March 3, 1972
FROM: M. Verheyen
SUBJECT: CAMEROON: Credit 229-CM - Douala Port Project
Report of Mission Related to Withdrawals
1.0 Credit Data
Amount of Credit US$1,500,000Date of Agreement January 14, 1971Amount Withdrawn as of January 30, 1972 -Effective Date April lh, 1971
Closing Date June 30, 1973
2.0 Findings and Conclusions
According to terms of reference dated December 21, 1971, I
visited the Douala Port Authority and the Ministry of Planning and Develop-
ment from January 4 to 10, 1972. I met successively Mr. Ngann Yonn, Director
of Ports and Navigable Waterways, Mr. Fodzeu, his Deputy, Mr. Serge Inglevert,
Representative of Consultants SOCOTEC, and Mr. Chave, Representative of
Bureau Veritas.
2.1 Both contracts with SOCOTEC and VERITAS are awaiting signature by
the Ministry of Planning Development in Yaounde. However, the absence of sig-
nature did not prevent the various offices from cooperating and working
actively. The opening of bids for the construction of the deepwater quay and
for the purchase of the dredger were to take place on February 4, 1972.
Therefore withdrawals for construction works will not start for a couple of
months. Mr. Fodzeu mentioned that they might request a change in the descrip-tion of the project to build the quay to a depth of 10 m instead of 8.5 m as
they expect to dredge a channel of 10 m depth. This would enable larger ships
to come along the quay. I advised them to write to the Transportation Projects
Department of the Association about this change in the project. This would
further delay construction and withdrawals. The existing dredger is on its
way to Europe for repairs.
2.2 Both Representativesof the Consultants (SOCOTEC for construction and
VERITAS for the dredger) were cooperative and they understand their responsi-
bilities. All are anxious to bring the project to a quick and successful
conclusion.
3.0 Withdrawal Procedures
The first withdrawal will be made on account of the Contract with
Bureau Veritas. This contract for FF 27,000 provides for the payment of one
third at the time of opening of bids, i.e. February 4, 1972. The contract
with SOCOTEC is expressed and payable in CFA francs. If not amended, this
contract for CFA 13,310,000 (about US$53,200) would not be eligibla for
Mr. A. J. Carmichael - 2 - March 3, 1972
financing under Category III of the Allocation of Proceeds. I therefore
sent a cable to Washington (Annex 1). A cable has been sent to the Port
Directorate advising them that the foreign and local expenditure under
the contract must be expressed separately (Annex 2).
3.1 The withdrawal applications will be prepared by the Port Authority.
I explained our procedures to Mr. Fodzeu (Deputy Director) and to Mr. Abba
Garoua Oumarou (Acting Chief of the Finance Division, in the absence of an
accounting advisor) and to Mr. Essomba (accountant). I gave them all neces-
sary forms with explanations and the copy of the Disbursement letter.
3.2 At the time of my visit to Yaounde for the Education project I
made the following arrangements for the signature of the applications with
Mr. Muomo of the Ministry of Plan and Mr. Amadou Bello, Director of the
Ministry of Programmation: Mr. Abba Garoua Oumarou will prepare the with-
drawal applications and will send them to the Director of Programs in Yaounde
for signature by the General Secretary of the Ministry of Planning. The
Cashier's Division of the Treasurer's Department will have to send addi-
tional copies of the withdrawal authorization to the Ministry of Planningfor re-distribution to the Programs Director and Port Authority. I tried to
obtain from Mr. Muomo, General Secretary of the Ministry of Plan, a change
by which the Director of the Port of Douala would sign the withdrawals, but
Mr. Muomo explained that it was not possible as the Ministry wishes to main-
tain unification of procedure for all projects financed by the Association.
h.0 A letter has been sent to the Minister of Planning (Annex 3)thanking him for the cooperation and for all facilities extended to the
mission during its visit to Douala, and enquiring into the Government's
and Port Authority's intention regarding the depth of water alongside the
mineral berth.

Dear Mr. Minister:
CAMEROON: Credit 229-CM - Douala Port ProjectMineral Berth
Mr. Verheyen has asked me to convey his appreciation for theassistance given to him during his mission to Cameroon from January 5to 10, 1972.
The mission informs us that the Ports Directorate might requesta change in the description of the project to build the mineral quay to adepth of 10 m instead of 8.5 m. As you know, bids due on February 4, 1972,are for a quay 8.5 m deep and such a change may need a new design and newcall for bids, both resulting in further delays to quay construction. Ifthe information conveyed to us is correct, we would appreciate your earlyconfirmation of the position and the revised economic justification for theproposal. You will recall that the chosen depth of 8.5 m was the result ofextensive studies by the consultants and that the Government and the Bankagreed to their findings.
Yours sincerely,

Objet: Cameroun - Projet portuaire de DoualaCredit n* 229 CM.
Monsieur le Directeur,
Faisant suite & votre lettre du 16 Novembre 1971 par laquellevous avez bien voulu attirer l 'attention du Gouvernement camerounaissur les retards apportis & la mise en application de certaines clausesde l'Accord de Credit ci-dessus vise en objet, j'ai l'honneur de vousfaire tenir ci-apres des precisions aux questions que vous nous avez posies
1. Le Gouvernement partage votre avis sur la sous-utilisation dela drague "'GAR OUA'' et le coftt d'exploitation tres ileva qui en resulte.
En consequence et pour remidier a cette situation, le 6 Janvier 1972,1 'Administration a risilid le contrat d'exploitation qui la liait C la sociitdU.I. C.. Depuis lors, la drague a dtd envoyde c LUBECK, en RipubliqueFdirale d'Allemagne, pour revision gindrale dont les travaux devrontdurer environ cinq mois. Entre temps, des consultations ont 6te engagiesnotamment avec les societes hollandaires (BOSKALIS et SAENEN-VOESTED) et frangaises (Socijtd Frangaise de Dragage et des TravauxPublics et Socigtd U. I. C.) en vue de mettre sur pied une nouvelle formuled'exploitation des que l'engin sera de retour au Cameroun.
2. Le Gouvernement est conscient des engagements pris vis-et-visde la Banque Mondiale lors de la signature de l 'Accord de Credit de
Ddveloppement n* 229 CM, en particulier ceux qui privoient des consul-tations prealables quant aux modifications importantes a apporter ez 1 'or-ganisation portuaire dans le Territoire du Cameroun.
C'est ainsi que depuis quelque temps 1 'on s 'est penchi sur lapreparation des projets de dicret ci-apres dont j'ai le plaisir de vousfaire parvenir un jeu :
-2 -
- le projet de dicret portunt application de la loi n* 71/LF/5 du 4 Juin1971 instituant 1'Office National des Ports du Cameroun.
- le projet de djcret confiant t I 'Office National des Ports du Camerounla gestion de divers services annexes.
Vous voudrez bien examiner ces projets de dicret et me faireconnaitre votre point de vue sur leur teneur avant leur presentation a lasignature du Chef de 1'Etat camerounais.
En effet, comme vous le constaterez, ce n'est qu'apres signa-ture de ces dcrets que 1'Office National des Ports sera dotj d'un instru-ment de travail lui permettant de riglementer toutes les activitds s 'exer-gant & 1 'intdrieur du Port de Douala.
3. En ce qui concerne la mise sur pied d'un systme de comptabi-litd analytique, vous avez # bien apprhend6 les difficultds que nu s
rencontrons dans la recherche des cadres aussi experimentis pour uneaussi courte pdriode de temps. L 'an dernier, il vous a dtd fait dtat desrisultats obtenus lorsque nous vous avions proposg les candidatures de troiscabinets comptables ci-apris que nous croyions capables de faire 1 'affaire:
- le GATEC, un bureau d'etudes comptables sis & Douala quis 'est occupd de la comptabilitd de la SONAC, une importantesocijtd commerciale avec plusieurs succursales dans lesgrandes villes du Cameroun.
- la Fiduciaire France-Afrique qui s 'est occupie de la r&orga-nisation de la comptabilitj du Port Autonome de Dakar, auSdndgal, et qui, au Cameroun, s 'est chargde entre autresde la comptabilitj de la Socidtd de Palmeraies de Mbongo etd'Esjka (SO. PA. M. E.) et de la Socijtj des Grands HOtels duCameroun.
- le Consultant de 1 'Afrique Centrale.
Malheureusement, vous n'avez agrij aucun de ces cabinets.Cependant, sans relitcher d'effort, nous avions multiplid les contactsaupr&s d'autres bureaux d'Itudes tels que la SEMA et la CEGOS ; nousavons aussi placd des annonces dans plusieurs journaux internationalementconnus tels que le MONDE, le FIGARO, etc... pour le recrutement d'unConseiller Financier Comptable & d6faut d'un Cabinet sur place.
Les propositions que nous recevrons 6ventuellement vous seronttransmises pour appriciation tres prochainement.
-3-
Quant & la nomination d'un Commandant de Port, il est d noterque ce poste n'est pas vacnnt ; il est seulement question de trouver unCapitaine competent en remplacement de M. MOUMY qui occupe actuelle-ment ce poste. Je vous tiens ci-joint photocopie de l'abondante correspon-dance dchangde & ce sujet avec divers candidats. Malheureusement, dufait des exigences abusives de ces derniers, notamment en ce qui con-cerne les salaires, il ne nous a pas 6tW possible de recruter un expatrij.Cependant, nous comptons confier ce poste 4 un jeune camerounaisCapitaine au long cours nanti d'expgriences pratiques de problmes mari-times a la fois a 1 'extirieur du pays (au Port de Marseille, en France)et l'int6rieur, dans notre service d'exploitation e Douala.

Messieurs, I 'JkX
Pour l'appel d'offres du 3 novembre 1971, la Direction des Ports arequ trois soumissions presentees par les socigt4s ELLICOT, IHC repr6 sent4 epar HAMELLE AFRIQUE et HYDROLAND representee par CAMER INDUSTRIEL.
L'offre d'ELLICOT n'a pas 6t6 retenue pour non conformit6 h lareglementation de la banque et h celle du Cameroun en matiere de march4s.
En effet, h la s4ance d'examen des offres, la Socidt4 ELLICOTn'avait fait parv'enir qu'un telex donnant tout juste le prix de la drague sansaucun autre renseignement. Quelques jours plus tard, on a requ un dossier decette socistg qui, non seulement n'4tait pas conforme & l'appel d'offres, maiscomportait de nombreuses impr4cisions.
De l'4tude technique des offres de IHC et d'HYDROLAND, il ressort ceisuit : la drague IHC 1210 toutes variantes ne r~pond pas 2 l'appel d'offres
profondeur de dragage et puissance insuffisantes).
- La drague IHC 1812 toutes variantes a des performances supirieuresh celles contenues dans le devis technique, mais elle n'est cependant conque quepour une d4nivellation de quatre metres au lieu de cinq.
- La drague HYDROLAND FL 600 a des performances satisfaisantes, n6an-moins son d4bit semble un peu juste. Conque pour travailler avec 1 200 m deconduite flottante seulement, elle b14nficie d4jh de l'agrdment du Bureau VERITAS.
- La drague HYDROLAND FL 900 r4pond mieux aux caractdristiques etperformances du devis technique.
-2-
Les prix de ces differentes dragues 4tant nettement sup 6rieurs aux
previsions, un r6examen de la situation s'impose.
La drague HYDROIAND FL 600 pourrait bien satisfaire les besoins dela Direction des Ports moyennant les modifications suivantes :
a) La drague serait livr4e avec 800 metres de conduite flottante au
lieu de 1 500, la longueur de la conduite terrestre restant inchangde.
b) Le constructeur ne fournirait que les tuyaux avec les colliersde fixation ainsi que les raccorde en caoutchouc. L'Administration utiliseraitalors les flotteurs de la conduite flottante de la drague "GAROUA" dont letaux d'utilisation est trbs faible h l'heure actuelle.
c) La drague ainsi modifide au point de vue accessoire serait livr~eavec propulsion.
Ces modifications feraient baisser le prix de la conduite flottanteet les frais de transport, donc le prix de l'ensemble.
Vous nous obligerez en nous faisant connaltre votre agr6ment dans lesmeilleurs d6lais.
Enfin, nous vous signalons que la drague HYDROLAND qui nous est pro-
posse est 6quip~e d'un moteur Baudouin, type de moteur dont sont 4 quip4 s tousnos engins de servitude (chaloupes, pilotines, remorqueurs), et pour lequelnos services dentretien ont une bonne expdrience.
Veuillez agreer, Messieurs, l'expression de mes salutations distingu6es.

Dear Mr. Minister:
CAMEROON: Credit 229-CM - Douala Port ProjectMineral Berth
Mr. Verheyen has asked as to convey his appreciation for theassistance given to him during his mission to Cameroon from January 4to 10, 1972.
The mission informs us that the Ports Directorate migt request achange in the description of the project to build the mineral quay to adepth of 10 m instead of 8.5 m. As you know, bids due on February 4,1972, are for a quay 8.5 m deep and such a change may need a new desigiand new eall for bids, both resulting in further delays to quay construc-tion. If the information conveyed to us is correct, we would appreciateyour early confirmation of the position and the revised economic Justi-fication for the proposal. You will recall that the chosen depth of 8.5 awas the result of extensive studies by the consultants and that theGovernment and the Bank agreed to their findings.
Yours sincerely,
