CONGO Terminal is continuing to upgrade the Port of Pointe-Noire, Brazzaville recently completing the extension works of the yard surface area of dock D, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The upgrade began a year ago with a price of US$5.69 million, with an increase of 3.5 hectares.
This new project follows the reconstruction in 2017 of 700 linear metres of dock D and a yard of three hectares.
Engineered by a local company, the upgrades are part of an investment plan designed to make the Pointe-Noire deep water port an oceanside doorway to Africa.
Bollore Ports has invested $455 million since 2009 to upgrade the container terminal's infrastructure and equipment.
'Through this new investment, we are continuing to boost the competitiveness of Congo's economy and step up the impulse of trade in the region,' said congo Terminal managing director Anthony Samzun.
'With this new storage area, we raise our capacity to 45 hectare, which will help us keep pace with the momentum of import & export flows in the Congo corridor while offering us the opportunity to respond to the expectations of shipowners.'
