Grand Batanga is a coastal village in the South Province of Cameroon.

Grand Batanga is the possible site of a deep water port for the haulage of iron ore from the Mbalam region about 450 km to the east.

As there is no natural harbour in the vicinity, a pier several kilometres long will be needed to access deep water of about 20 metres.

[1] The route of the railway is being designed using Quantm software which analyzes millions of alternative before presenting the operator a handful of the most promising choices.

The software determines the quantities of cut and fill which tend to be one of the most important cost factors.
