CONGO Terminal, a subsidiary of Bollore Ports, has surpassed the one million TEU milestone in 2021 handling 1,003,734 TEU during the year.
The achievement reflects the efforts Bollore Ports has made to increase traffic from 200,000 to one million TEU, in line with its commitments to modernise the Port of Pointe-Noire.
Bollore Ports has invested more than US$450 million since 2009 to upgrade the container terminal's infrastructure and equipment. These investments have extended docks G and D by 1,500 linear metres and increased their depth to 15 metres and strengthened the port's equipment, with six new STS cranes and 18 RTG cranes.
Over the past decade, Congo Terminal has carried out construction works, having built storage areas covering more than 32 useable hectares, a multi-modal logistics area of 4.5 hectares connected to the Congo-Ocean Railway, and a technical workshop dedicated to maintenance operations.
It also uses the Navis N4 operating system for managing and automating operations in the terminal, Colchester's Seatrade Maritime News reported.
"This result attests to the success of the partnership between Congo Terminal and the Port Autonome of Pointe-Noire. Now that we have broken this symbolic level, our goal is to become a transshipment hub helping the national economy and sub-region grow and an eco-friendly smart port," said Seraphin Bhalat, director of the Port Autonome of Pointe-Noire.
