Minister of Water and Energy Gaston Eloundou Essomba visited the site on August 19, 2026, to assess the progress alongside the directors general of the Port of Kribi and Camwater. This project is a tangible outcome of a partnership established through a memorandum of understanding signed on October 29, 2023, which outlines collaboration on potable water and liquid sanitation services for the port.

The infrastructure is designed to support the port's expansion and increasing activities.
