Proofreading task. Expansion of african commercial ports.
I am thinking 'lieux d'escale' or spots where ships have to wait to be called once the port is ready to unload them?
Ports, wharves and places of call will be extended along the river.

Discussion
Cf. Termium : port of call: port d'escale, point of call: escale.
Les propositions de "mouillage", bien qu'on s'attende ici à ce terme, correspondraient plutôt à l'idée de "mooring / anchorage". J'éviterais de m'engager dans cette direction car les auteurs pourraient aussi bien parler de pontons, par exemple.
