Container terminal expanded in Sierra Leone

A container terminal in a growing west African trading centre has been expanded to accommodate larger ships.

Bolloré Transport & Logistics has extended Freetown Gateway in Sierra Leone to open new trading routes for container ships.

During a two-year upgrade project, Bolloré built a 270-m long quay with a water depth of 13 m at the terminal. This was completed in September this year and enables ships of up to 6,000 TEU to use the facilities.

This work increases Freetown Terminal's capacity and maritime trade to boost local and national economies in Sierra Leone.

“This partnership between the Sierra Leone Government and the Bolloré Group is an illustration of a successful public-private partnership,” said Bolloré chief executive Cyrille Bolloré at the official opening ceremony, in November.
