Financed by Congo Terminal to the tune of 2.6 billion CFA francs (€4 million), the two yard gantries, built by lifting equipment manufacturer Konecranes, will strengthen the stevedoring capacities of the Congo container terminal.
Congo Terminal is thus pursuing its investment programme to make Pointe-Noire a leading deep-water port that backs up specific corridors and responds to the expectations of the main ship owners. In 2019, the company handled over 920,000 TEU, compared with 190,000 TEU at the start of the concession. This enabled the Port of Pointe-Noire to earn the distinction of “the best wharf productivity of the ports in Central and West Africa”.
