DIG/ The prices of maritime transport tickets between Port-Gentil and Libreville will experience an exponential increase this week.
According to a source close to the shipping companies, Logimar 241 and NGV SAS, economy class tickets will go from 35000 to 42000f. And those of VIP from 50000 to 55000f.
“We are asphyxiated, strangled by the price of fuel.
Today, if we don’t see it reduced, we have two options: either we increase the ticket, or stop the traffic”, warns a shipowner.
Indeed, shipowners say they do not understand that they are being asked to buy diesel at 1145 FCFA, industrial price, instead of 585 FCFA price in service stations.
« Our engines are certainly consuming because they are high-speed catamarans, but for all that we are not industries” he defends himself.
These economic operators are also demanding customs facilities for the acquisition of spare parts from abroad.
“The cost of raw materials has increased internationally. We should also note the maintenance of the cost of transporting our orders, which has increased since the last COVID-19 pandemic., he explains.
