Congo Terminal expands port equipment fleet

Congo Terminal, a subsidiary of Bolloré Ports, has recently invested more than US$1 million to acquire 10 tractors and 10 trailers to improve the efficiency of its operations.

This is the fourth order for rolling stock equipment in the Port of Pointe-Noire’s terminal since 2009, according to a statement.

The latest generation tractors, YT193 and RT223, connected to the Navis 4 operating system, are expected to increase operational production rates at the container yard and enhance the terminal’s productivity.

“The investments made in the Port of Pointe-Noire have enabled us to increase our volumes and improve our production rates,” said Anthony Samzun, managing director of Congo Terminal.

Bolloré Ports noted that this acquisition is in line with Congo Terminal’s investment plan, amounting to more than US$440 million, to upgrade infrastructure and equipment.

Samzun added, “We are continuing to invest in new equipment to keep up with the ever-increasing volumes we are now facing.”
