At Hapag-Lloyd’s inaugural Supplier Recognition Event taken place in Dubai, Congo Terminal was received the Bronze Award of Excellence for its performance in ship handling. The customer was delighted with the quality of the work delivered and the professionalism of the teams.
‘This award reflects the key role Congo Terminal plays in promoting excellence, innovation and sustainability in our supply chain,’ said Ranusha Gayan, RME Procurement at Hapag-Lloyd.
‘This recognition highlights our operational excellence, which is reflected in the continuous growth of our performance and the commitment of our teams. It shows just how ready we are, with the forthcoming commissioning of the East Mole, to receive the largest container ships on the market and to offer space to every shipowner who wants to come to Pointe-Noire,’ says Anthony Samzun, General Manager of Congo Terminal.
As the exclusive operator of the Pointe-Noire container terminal, Congo Terminal has transformed the port platform. The volumes handled have risen from 200,000 TEU at the start of the concession in 2009 to more than 1,000,000 TEU since 2023. The company employs nearly 900 permanent staff. In 2024, it began work on the construction of a new terminal on the East Mole. This will create 900 additional jobs for the country and enable the port of Pointe
Noire to handle more than 2,300,000 TEUs a year to support economic growth in the sub region.
