Matakong
Matakong is an island just off the coast of Guinea between the capital Conakry and the Sierra Leone border.
Transport
Matakong is the proposed port terminus of the heavy duty standard gauge Trans-Guinean Railway links large iron and bauxite deposits to the coast.
New port
A new deep water port is needed because, firstly, the port at Conakry is built out and there is no room, and secondly, because a new port at Matakong has better access though flatter ground to the hinterland.
A 20km pier may be needed to reach deepwater.
