About the data

Port of Owendo traffic PORT_OWENDO_TRAFFIC

Definition
Goods loaded and unloaded at the port of Owendo (Libreville), in thousand tonnes per year.
Methodology
Annual values for 2011-2018 curated from a peer-reviewed article (Espaces Africains journal) that reproduces a statistical table attributed to the Gabon Ports and Harbours Office (OPRAG) and the Tableau de bord de l'économie gabonaise; each value with its original publication (see each observation's note). Later years could not be verified on a comparable basis (figures found for the dedicated Owendo Mineral Port terminal, or for the "port sous douane", use different scopes and are not mixed into this series). Imported via `gaboneco:import-open-data --source=curated`.
