Abidjan : un bateau de transport échoue au pied du pont Félix Houphouët-Boigny
An incident occurred on the morning of Sunday, March 15, 2026, on the Ébrié Lagoon in Abidjan . A passenger transport boat ran aground against a pier of the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Bridge , one of the main routes connecting the Plateau and Treichville districts.
According to initial reports, the boat broke its moorings during the night before drifting with the lagoon currents. Left to its own devices, the boat eventually struck a bridge pier early in the morning, causing it to run aground.
Fortunately, no passengers were on board at the time of the incident , and no loss of life was reported. However, the incident did attract the attention of local residents and users of the lagoon due to the partially submerged boat's position near the bridge.
The relevant authorities, including maritime safety services, were quickly mobilized to secure the area and assess the damage. Operations may be launched to remove the vessel and prevent any risk to navigation in the lagoon .
This incident also raises the issue of safety and mooring for boats operating on the Ébrié Lagoon, an area increasingly frequented by transport boats in the economic capital.
