Matakong is an island in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Guinea , between the Guinea capital Conakry and the border with Sierra Leone . It is part of the Forécariah prefecture .
transport
The proposed Transguinean Railway is to end in Matakong . The railway will run from the iron ore deposits in the southeast and the bauxite deposits in the north to the port of Matakong.
A new deep water port is needed because the port at Conakry cannot be expanded any further and because Matakong, despite the shallower water, has better access to the hinterland.
