As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2021, there doesn't appear to be a widely recognized marine port specifically designated as "M'BYA" in Gabon. It's possible that "M'BYA" might be a smaller or more recently developed marine facility, a private dock, or even a typographical error of a more well-known port in Gabon.

Gabon is a country in Central Africa with several significant ports along its coastline, which are essential for its economy, mainly owing to the exportation of oil, minerals, and timber. The primary ports include the Port of Libreville and the Port of Port-Gentil. Here's a brief overview of these major ports:

Port of Libreville

• Location: Libreville, the capital city of Gabon.
• Functions: Serves as the primary port for general cargo and containers. It also handles a considerable portion of Gabon's imports and exports.
• Specifications:
  • Depth: The port can accommodate vessels with draft up to 9.5 meters.
  • Facilities: Includes container terminals, cargo handling equipment, warehousing, and other necessary port infrastructure.
  • Capacity: Handles various goods, including containerized cargo, breakbulk, and Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) cargo.

Port of Port-Gentil

• Location: Port-Gentil, the second-largest city in Gabon.
• Functions: Mainly an industrial port serving the oil, timber, and fishery industries. It's crucial for the export of oil and other natural resources.
• Specifications:
  • Depth: Can accommodate vessels with a draft of around 10.5 meters.
  • Facilities: Equipped with oil terminals, logistics support for the offshore oil industry, and facilities for handling timber and other goods.
  • Capacity: Primarily oriented towards bulk and liquid cargo, supporting the extractive industries in the region.

If "M'BYA" refers to a new development or a minor facility, details might not be extensively documented or available in major marine and port directories available up to 2021. For precise and updated information, you may need to refer to local maritime authorities or recent publications from relevant Gabonese ports and shipping authorities.
