Led by its first manager Koen De Backker, the delegation from Côte d'Ivoire Terminal (CIT), concessionaire of the second Container Terminal of the Port of Abidjan, was received in audience by the Director General of the Autonomous Port of Abidjan (PAA). This working session made it possible to review the company's activities, to discuss the operational constraints encountered and to explore concerted solutions to improve operating conditions. 262 billion CFA francs from the CIT consortium, the terminal can handle more than 1.5 million TEU containers per year and accommodate ships with a draft of 16 meters along its 1,100 meters of quays. The manager reaffirmed his company's commitment to continuing its investments to support the development of the Port of Abidjan as a reference logistics hub in West Africa.
Beyond the symbol, this meeting reflects the common desire to consolidate the competitiveness of the Ivorian port platform in the face of growing regional competition, particularly in a West African sector in full swing. mutation.
