APM Terminals Liberia is set to see a further efficiency boost following the commissioning of two Liebherr 600 mobile harbour cranes.
In particular, the recently completed dredging of the Freeport of Monrovia, which has increased the draft to 12.5 metres, paves the way for larger and more economical gearless vessels.
This latest US$15 million investment is going to enhance the productivity of the port and reduce vessel waiting time for shipping lines, according to APM Terminals.
Through its partnership with the National Port Authority (NPA), Liberian Maritime Authority (LiMA) and the Government of Liberia (GOL), together with regulatory stakeholders, APM Terminals Liberia remains dedicated to transforming the Freeport of Monrovia into an economically viable gateway to the Mano River Union basin.
Liberia’s minister of finance and development planning, Samuel D. Tweah Jr. commended APM Terminals Liberia for “going above and beyond expectations”, and described the partnership as “crucial” for the development of the port and the region.
